Hello!
Looking for experiences and hopefully some reassurance!
At all my midwife appointments where my bump has been measured, I’ve been measuring 6 weeks ahead. I am now 31 weeks and pregnant and bump is measuring 7 weeks ahead, as this will be the third where the measurement is bigger than expected (but consistent).
I am being referred for an extra scan (likely in 2 weeks when I have a pre-scheduled consultant appt) and midwife said not to worry but it’s really hard not to! She advised it can just be a big baby, or could be too much fluid. She reassured me not to worry but that if it’s fluid then we will need further investigation, and honestly it’s scared the shit out of me. Apart from GD what could be a reason for having a lot of amniotic fluid around the baby? As much as I want to be calm I can’t help panicking, I know my bump is huge but now I’ve got that panic that something might be wrong and the wait is agonising!
Has anyone else had a bump measure ahead of what would be expected? Think I just need to not feel alone as people in real life have said they’ve known people 2-3 weeks ahead but 7 seems crazy to me.
Thank you in advance!
