Hey Ladies! So as you can see by the ticker I am about 35 weeks pregnant, well yesterday I went in and I am measuring about two weeks larger, so at 37 weeks. I am just wondering if I may be further along, I have measured a week larger for quite sometime and now it has gone to two weeks. This is my fourth and I was on birth control so didnt really know dates to begin with it was all just a guess at the beginning. I have never had a "large" baby I guess just average size lol. I have included a picture from a few days ago as well. Either way I am scheduled to be induced on October 5th, I am also getting an amnio to be sure lungs are mature (I cant get out of it, even this far along). What do you ladies think, I also have weighed the same for almost three weeks now I weigh 147, so def. just baby growing now I guess... Also, Any one who can help me with using Evening Primrose Oil to ripen cervix that would be great too, THANKYOU!!
Measuring 2 weeks larger

If you dont mind me asking what you mean by neat for 35 weeks?? hehe. And I sut wonder I guess because when I go in for amnio if I were two further that would possibly make 39 at amnio, which mean lung maturity shouldnt be a problem... lol. I just really hope LO lungs come back mature which they should at 37 weeks shouldnt they.. I guess I am just worrying too much about wacky things

You don't look massive or anything, I think you look quite compact still
I was just wondering exadctly how many to put up there and if I should take any, I see some sights that say massage, put 2 up there, 3 up there, and even take 3-5 orally... So just trying to be safe and not over do it. This pregnancy I put on 30 lbs, with my other son I was the same, but with y girls I gained 60. I only gain in the belly I still fit into a size 3 jeans (some 5s though) My belly looks small to me too.. The doctor said yesterday if I were measuring plus three weeks they would want ultrasound, but two over they are just keeping an eye.. I guess it wasnt that big of deal since in 12 days I am due to be induced.. ))) I am super excited.. I have been counting down for a month lol. I was induced with all my children at 37 to 38 weeks, but never measured over what I was.. So I just really wodner if I may be further along that would be good ofcourse.

I take FH with a grain of salt tbh. I think it depends on who is measuring you, your shape, how you carry and the position of the baby. I think my MW is generous on her measurements as she measures me way ahead.
I take 1300mg of primrose oil daily.

I use it vaginally, I did with my last pregnancy too and although I went overdue my midwife said my cervix was really stretchy from really early on so I definitely think it worked! x

You mean the baby's measurements were more typical of someone two weeks older?
They did a growth profile on mine and when I looked up his measurements he was one to two weeks ahead, for example his abdominal circumference was typical of 38.5 weeks but my scan was at 37 weeks.
However, the doctor did not tell me it was a problem. They just said the baby was slightly bigger than the average (67 percentile).
Are you being induced earlier because of the baby's size? because I'm smaller than you are (115 lbs) and no one spoke about inducing me. I'm getting a little worried about the baby's size though, especially if other people are being induced due to it
