Baby measuring big

[snch]

I had my 31 week appointment last week and bump was measuring big. Midwife said if he’s grown more by my next appointment in 3 weeks I’ll need to go for a growth scan. Has anyone else had this?

I've had...
28 weeks fundal height measurement way above the top line.
32 weeks no growth from last measurement.
32 week growth scan baby meaursing 83rd centile
34 week fundal height measuring high again
Got another growth scan tomorrow (35 weeks) to check on baby again

I think it must be the position of baby or something because how can he measure massive then no growth but the next day show he's actually 83rd then measuring massive again lol

My bump was supposedly big. Got sent for growth scan. Baby was born 6lb 8 at 39 weeks. It's not a very accurate way of determining the size of a baby

As a one off fundal height measurement it's not something to be concerned about at all. As you've seen from this thread, growth scans are not always hugely accurate either.

I had a couple of growth scans in my first pregnancy due to fertility treatment and DS1 was predicted to be about 9lb. He was born at 42 weeks at 10lb, vaginal delivery with only a 2nd degree tear.

Because he was so big, I then had serial growth scans with my second pregnancy. He was measuring even bigger, off the 95th centile at every scan. Eventually at 38+6 I had a scan predicting him to be 9lb 12, and I'd also developed excess fluid around him, so for that reason they brought me in for induction a couple of days later. He came out at 9lb12 exactly, so no doubt would have got even bigger if he'd stayed in as long as DS1! Again, normal delivery, 2nd degree tear. No long term complications.

NICE guidelines is not to induce or offer CS unless baby is predicted to be >5kg (4.5kg if you have diabetes) so size alone isn't necessarily an indicator of problems. It's only if you have additional complications like extra/reduced fluid etc that they like to get them out sooner.
