So I went today.... Apparently haven't actually put on any weight I started off heavy and not eating much anyway so no issue there but my midwife measurements today put me at 35 weeks...... I'm 29+5 now so that's nearly 5 weeks ahead😱

Last growth scan had measurement on the 97centile.
My placenta is covering os and baby is breech wondering if this makes any difference at all??

Is this by tape measure of fundal height?

Your size and baby position does make a difference, also it's more useful if done regularly to see if it increasing at a steady rate.

I measured 39 at 42+3 and had a 10lb 6oz baby and am only 5' and looked like I was carrying twins I was huge!!!! So it's not a true indicator of baby size.

Yes it was a tape, just concerned with all the ooohhhh this will be a big baby I mean it does feel like a bowling ball!! It is baby 4 and not in the right position so I'm just hoping that measurements work out eventually... It does however feel like I'm having a monster with all the comments from midwifes and general busy bodies!!
