Measuring big

2 replies

Hi, I'm currently 28 weeks pregnant and I'm measuring 34 weeks already! I've never measured so much bigger for dates before in previous pregnancies! I'm having a growth scan at 32 and 36 weeks anyway but should I be concerned? I've never had GD before although never had the test either. I had bloods taken yesterday to check iron levels and random blood glucose so I'm assuming if I have GD that would show up with my blood test? Thanks for any help or advice!

I measured ahead on my first 2 and had GTT which was normal. Had growth scans but both babies were 7lb’ers.

Measuring is known to be really inaccurate so I really wouldn't worry. If you are having growth scans then they will be able to be a bit more specific.
If you measure big then all they would normally do is refer you for a scan anyway.
I measure big but all my scans have shown that the baby is a normal size.
