just got back from my midwife 29 week appointment and im measuring 34 weeks and is going to send me off for another scan to check on baby as hes measuring so big - i kind of hope i get pushed forward but worried if hes huge! :wacko:

Im measuring the same as you hun! They sent me to see the consultant and he sd not to worry and measuring ahead is not a big deal. He then felt my tummy and said my fluid and baby feel normal sized...?! didnt scan me.

when is ur scan?

Out of interest are you short-ish? Im only 5'3'' and wondered if that had something to do with it? who knows :shrug:
 
They are going to call me this week - my friend just PM'd me and said she measured 5 weeks ahead and had a 9lb at 37 weeks eeeeeeek.

Thanks for clearing that up about VBac - i thought it meant labour with baby back to your back lol im so special.

Ive also read alot of stories online about being shorter and having large fundel. Im 5ft 6 and used to weigh 9 stone. Im interested to see what the scan will show now. Have they moved you forward at all?
 
Nope not moved forward - the consultant said he will see me again at 36 weeks but more for my own peace of mind then theirs (as i nearly passed out from anxiety lol).

When i turned up for the appt he even said ''i dont know why your here to see me from your notes'' - they really were not worried.

I AM THOUGH! I was 7lbs and DH was 6lbs at birth so i was not prepared for the idea of a big baby?! which looks like a possibility......
 
Lou I am sure you will be fine :winkwink: I think fundal measuring is really dependant on who is doing the measuring. But yay for getting to see baby again :happydance:
 
I am also measuring big! We have a lot of big babies in here! Going for a growth check tmrw!
Great news you get to see baby again, hope all is well.xx
 
So midwife measured me at 37 weeks, now 4 weeks ahead and grown 2cm in a week! He is still engaged and there's not much fluid. She just said he is big! I've got to go bk in 2 weeks and be re checked, she said no point in sending me for referral as they wouldn't induce at 33 weeks so it would be a waste of my time. I've just got to look out for labour signs (just in case), and keep being tracked.
If I'm still so big at 36/37 weeks there's an induction possibility.
So that's me today!
 
Thanks for update cornish.

so me, you and lou are ALL measusing about 4cm ahead.... how odd! Im seeing the MW for regular appt at 34 weeks so interested to see what i measure then. Will then see consultant at 36 weeks

maybe we are all having teenagers instead of babies :rofl: weird!
 
I so wanted a weeny baby for ease of birth and because they are so cute. 10lb ers are so big!
It's strange how we are all being dealt with so differently!x
 
You may still have a weeny baby hun - as i said, the consultant felt my baby and said it feels normal sized :haha: whatever that is.

Plus - most women agree, the 8-10lbers are easier to push out ;) :rofl:

there is someone on third tri who had just posted that she measures 5cm ahead on fundal - so had a scan, and baby is measuring BEHIND :wacko:

its sooooooooooo confusing!
 
Really, she must have a lot of fluid? Midwife wiggled and prodded and said 'he's a biggun!'
 
mmmmm maybe it is just a big baby then ;) but hey - as long as they are healthy, what do we care :hugs:

lets all keep each other updated. will post on here my fundal in three weeks time :) x
 
I measured 3 weeks BEHIND with my 2nd and she was 7lbs 6oz at 40 weeks so I think that is distinctly average and not small at all :shrug:

Watch this now...I'm measuring spot on....I'll prob have the whopper and you will all have 7lb-er's :rofl: :shock:

I'd be happy with 7-8lbs which I think is feasible based on size of other babies I've had and my build etc etc.

Be interesting to see what growth scans say :thumbup:
 
Interesting they may induce you at 36/37 weeks - Even though id have preferred not to have it i cant frigging wait to meet my man and 40 weeks seems so far!!!! Im also interested to see how each of our midwifes/consultants will act on this. i cant wait for the birth weights of these monkies!! xx

ESSIE - do you mean 20lbs in total so far? if so thats perfect isnt it?? - considering you have swelling :shrug: Also - if your baby is measuring ahead BUT is in breech position.... isnt it likely that thats WHY she is measuring ahead, as breech adds on a couple of cm's?? so she may not be big at all?? Im measuring 5cm ahead and the consultant said my baby feels ''normal sized'' lol.

so i wouldnt worry - she may not even be big at all??? :hugs:

Lol, oh no dear. Not 20 lbs total, I wish.:haha: 20lbs in 2 weeks. It was an alarming gain thats prolly why my bp went up, lol. They weighed me before they did the bp and i was freaking out about the weight gain. But I got to explain to the midwife that Dh and I had been over doing it repairing flood damage and working as well. Not to mention that it was my kitchen and dining room that flooded so we were eating almost all take aways, or fast food. And she was satisfied that the swelling and the high bp was from all that and not pre-e. So really, doing well now. Have lost almost all the fluid, I dont think that i have ever peed so much in my life. As for Hayley's size they measured her via ultrasound. They take measurements of her head, belly, and thigh bone and then they estimate her weight. So she has a good chance of being a 8lb er, but her daddy was a 9lb first baby and I was 7ish.

Lou im with you on this. I cant wait to see how big these babies will really be. Cornish its wild that you may meet your little man in less than a month. It makes me panic a bit that could be a possibility and I dont have everything ready yet. :blush:

Girls have a good night and check on ya later. :hugs:
 
essie - ahhh i see hun :hugs: glad all is looking well now tho :)

Well ive been itching for over a week - which isnt unusual as i have sensitive skin and a latex allergy - but as my hands and feet are itching too, im having a blood test today to rule out having O.C .... great fun.

Have a good day ladiesssss x
 
Hope all is ok with bloods FT.
Essie, glad you've peed out your excess! Mad that babies could start arriving I agree but I'm so ready for it. I rem this last but being just as hard as the beginning last time. I need something to occupy me for 4 weeks!
Have a lovely day.xx
 
Just been told my scan is monday at 12 so will let you know how i get on -

Omg too, last night me and dh were looking at my boobs (like you do lol:haha:) as i was getting in my pjs and he just mentioned you nipples are dark and i was explaining its supposed to help with the baby seeing them, then some tiny amount of milk was there - It was such a shock that my body is doing the right thing and getting ready for this baby. I just never expected to be normal and carry a baby to full term and for my body to do the right thing. :blush:
