What was everyone's fundal height measurement at 38 weeks?

[jess181989]

I had fundal height measured two weeks ago and was measuring at 34, which they weren't concerned about. I went back today, to the same midwife, same trousers etc, baby in identical position and was measuring 42?! It was the same tape measure as well. She measured it 4 times to make sure. How has he grown this much in that time? He has been quiet so I did assume he was having a growth spurt but a 6 week growth spurt?! REALLY!?

What was everyone elses measurements at 38 weeks? has anyone else had a similar situation? I have been measuring behind for the entire pregnancy until now.

They are sending me for a growth scan and said they might choose to induce me if he is really that big...

At 38 weeks i was measuring 41 weeks. I've been measuring three weeks over since 30 weeks. I was just told that my baby will be big, no one has been concerned about it x

28 weeks = 30 cm
30 weeks = 32 cm
32 weeks = (not measured)
34 weeks = 38 cm
36 weeks = 37 cm (lost a cm??)
38 weeks = 38 cm

I had 38 week appointment today (a little early but I'm 37+5 by scan dates) I measured 36.5,

At my last appointment at 38+5 I measured 37cm and I measured 36 at 36+2. Baby was still 3/5 engaged and midwife seemed surprised that she had grown!

I think something similar happened to my friend who had her baby in October. Her LO was measuring behind up until right near the end of her pregnancy when suddenly her fundal height increased really dramatically! Her baby was only 6lb 12oz when she was born by c-section (baby turned breech at about 40 weeks!) at 41 weeks! So it really doesn't necessarily mean your baby's going to be huge!

I had a 38 wk appt today and measured 41cm, I have been measuring larger since round 28 weeks. They are concerned though this is my 2nd baby now, so they are expecting her to be like her sister (9lb 10oz!)
