Big AC measurement for 32weeks?!

Was wondering if anyone who has had a growth scan can tell me what their AC was measured at??
Is this on the high end of the scale for abdominal circumference?

275mm for 31+5 weeks??

I had a growth scan at 29 + 6 as part of the assessment for reduced movements and that time the AC was 281.68mm and baby was measuring big overall for the second time.

I then had the test for GD which was negative.

Had a further growth scan at 36 + 6 (3weeks later) and AC was 307mm.

It is following the same line so they think it’s just a large baby.

Sorry I meant 32+6 not 36+6!

I was quite worried about it all at first but the hospital didn’t seem fussed. I am going for a further growth scan at 36 weeks and they have said if it’s still measuring big they will discuss the possibility of an induction.

just been upstairs to look at my notes for you :-) at 32+2 our babys A/C was 292.1 mm (less than 90th centile but on the large side) in the notes section of report, they only comment on size if its 90th centile or above. (or too small)

Glad they're not worried as im sure that'll reassure you a lot more! Im just a bit concerned as there was a few whispers between the scanner and the doctor.
If your measurements are a bit on the bigger side but not worrying, maybe they're worried mine is on the smaller side?!
I feel that sometimes growth scans can worry us more than give reassurance!

Thanks @bessie84 - how far along are you now? Have you had/got repeat scans booked in later or were they happy enough?

Im 33+5 now. Got my next scan new years eve at 36+2

They were happy. Hes dropped a couple centiles from 28 weeks (he was above 90th centile before) but gaining weight nicely. At 32+2 they estimated him to be 4lb 11oz. Might just be a chubs 💙

Awww fingers crossed everything goes well at that scan @bessie84 - chubby babies are the best anyway!
