    I always measured much more ahead and I had a average 3.5kg bub (7lb 12oz).

    I too was told big baby the whole way through even at the 38 week scan they said the baby was going to be in the 9pd's well she ended up a healthy 8pd 4oz.. 52cm long..

    I wouldnt be too concerned just take it as it comes and I agree trust in your body.. It knows whats best..

    Congrats on 29 weeks!!

    Hello Lovely,

    I am measuring a little bigger too....according to 20 week scan Bubs is just long so perhaps your in the same boat? Either way as the others have said, trust your body its not going to make something that you cannot birth

    Hi, I'm currently 28weeks but fundal height measuring 37 weeks. My belly went crazy at about 24 - 25 weeks and I was diagnosed with polyhydroamnios (excess fluid). Apart from being a little more uncomfortable than normal I think all will be fine with both bubs and I. I always measured a few weeks bigger than dates with my other boys and they were born 8lb2oz and 10lb so who knows - wait and see.
