With my son I measured 2-3 weeks ahead the whole time from the 2nd trimester on. Baby was born at 41+2 at 8lbs 5oz.

Baby #2, I measured right on target, never bigger. She as also born on 41+2 and weighed 9lbs 1oz. I was expecting her to be smaller based on my measurements and the fact that she was a girl... NOPE lol.

Mine were always way off. With DD1, I was always measuring 2-3 weeks behind, going up to 4 weeks behind by the last month. I never had any ultrasounds as the midwives weren't concerned, and sure enough, DD arrived on her due date at a perfectly respectable 7 lbs 6 oz. DD2 had me consistently 2 weeks behind and she arrived the day after her due date at 8 lbs 2 oz.

Also, I'm 5'8 but have a very short torso, so technically I should have popped out a lot more, but I guess my babies just burrowed in tightly!

My fundal height was always on track with DD and she was induced the day after her due date - 7lb even. DS has been measuring 2-4 weeks behind because of position & I'm 38+5 weeks pregnant with him now.

During my last pregnancy I consistently measured 1-2 weeks ahead. DD was born at 39 weeks. 8lbs 1oz.

I measure 4 weeks ahead with both Both were born at 38 + 4 gestation, DS was 7 lbs 13 oz and DD was 10 lbs!

I measured about two weeks ahead my second pregnancy and she was born at 40 and 3 and nine pounds even. We expected her to be big!

I measured 1-2 weeks behind at the end and my LO was born at 39 weeks and 8lb 3oz, so not small! He was a c-section, but I didn't have any signs of labor prior to surgery.

My BFF just measured 3 weeks ahead at 34 weeks, so they did an ultrasound at 35 weeks and baby was 6lb 2oz, so not huge!

Yep, basically means nothing in relation to baby's size!

I never thought about it... but I guess so? I measured a little small in my 3rd trimester. Like 1-2 weeks behind throughout. And my LO was late (induced at 41+1).

I measured ahead unti about 36 weeks but growth ultrasound was fine and my LO was perfectly average sized.

I measured consistently behind, by at least 1-2 weeks but as much as 3 or 4. I did have several growth ultrasounds. I'm very tall, babe was extremely low and engaged down in my pelvis really early, which my OB basically said was the reason for measuring behind. LO was born at 39w6d weighing 7 lb 9 oz.

I was right on track with DD and had a 7lb 13oz baby at 40+1. I measured a week ahead with my second, until the last week when I was on track. But he was huge at over 10lb and ten days late.

@Rainbow Sprinkles: He would have been later if it was up to him. Not a single contraction and head wasn't engaged. First thing the OB said when she saw the size of his head: "you should be so glad you had this c-section!"

I measured small in the end and the babies came at 38 weeks. I don't think fundal height has to do with when the babies will come...more to do with the babies' size, but even that's an imperfect science because everyone carries differently. My friend always measured 2-3 weeks behind and had very average sized babies.
