I have GD so if I start measuring ahead they'll have to do a late sonogram to check on baby's size to see if they need to schedule an induction (oh please god no) or a c-section. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-measuring#post-415250 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 15:09:47 +0000 oliviaoblivia 415250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oahujeni: Our doula says the average of mom and dad birth weight is a good ballpark. We aren't big people though, so it's kind of scary. I'm 5'-7" and DH is 5'-10". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-measuring#post-415249 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 15:09:31 +0000 sera_87 415249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i always measured a week ahead, which was fine (1 wk in either direction is considered normal). he was 8 days late &amp; 7lbs9oz. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-measuring#post-415247 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 15:09:14 +0000 jedeve 415247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was 32 at 32 w. But my ultrasound at 28 weeks said I could be heading for a 9lber! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-measuring#post-415240 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 15:07:42 +0000 oahujeni 415240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow Ok so it seems like you all are pretty much in the same boat I am in. I wish I could get another ultrasound but they don't do any others after the 20 week scan.<br /> @oliviaoblivia: 9lbs, wow! I think I was almost 9 too but not sure what DH was. Big babies!<br /> @kffw: good to hear you are on track! I'd be freaked out if at 24 weeks they told me I was measuring 30. Giant baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-measuring#post-415215 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 14:59:41 +0000 Kffw 415215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 24 weeks I was measuring 30 weeks. The doc ordered an ultrasound and the baby was only measuring a week ahead and in the 60th percentile for weight. I have a lot of fluid, but am within the normal range. I'm now 33 weeks and was measuring right on the mark last week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-measuring#post-415208 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 14:55:50 +0000 oliviaoblivia 415208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At my last appointment I was 33w and measured at 36/37w. According to the ultrasound done that day, baby girl is around 90th percentile for birth weight. DH and I were both 9lbs+ and it looks like that's what I'm in for with her too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-measuring#post-415187 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 14:43:42 +0000 Adira 415187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At my last appointment, I was 24 weeks and measuring 24 weeks, so right on schedule so far! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-measuring#post-415143 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 14:26:42 +0000 wheres_c 415143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was never measured in weeks but the growth ultrasounds put me in the 65th percentile. Baby's still in there at 38 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-measuring#post-415122 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 14:21:31 +0000 Mrs. Blue 415122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm measuring way ahead, which I guess is expected with two. At my appt right before 20 weeks, I was measuring 26 or 28 weeks, I can't remember which one. I think I blocked it out. :-) It explains why I'm getting so uncomfortable so early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-measuring#post-415112 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 14:16:32 +0000 autumnlove 415112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My Dr. never told me measurements or gave me estimated weight because he said they are mostly inaccurate. I was bummed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-measuring#post-415108 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 14:15:26 +0000 oahujeni 415108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just got back from my weekly appointment, and the OB measured my belly and I'm 36 weeks 3 days but measuring 39 weeks. She said that's normal and may or may not mean I will deliver early or have a big baby. She just brushed it off, but wanted to see if anyone else measured similarly? Did you deliver early? </p>
