Measuring big for dates
Hi ladies,
What does it really mean when we 'measure big for dates'?
I have had 2 measurements now,
1st at 24 weeks - Measured 24 weeks
2nd at 28 weeks - Measured 31 weeks.
I am now 31 weeks and have another appoinment on Thursday but have tried to measure myself today likethe midwives do and i'm now 34 weeks so still 3 weeks ahead.
I don't know if i've done it right but what would happen if they say i am still measureing 3 weeks bigger?
Do they send you for a scan? is it a problem?
I know my due date is right so can't be a problem with that.
Thanks guys xxxxxxxxxxxx

I've been measuring bigger from 24 weeks but apparently this is due to the babies head still being quite high up and i've got lots of fluid so mw told me not to worry coz i got myself in a bit of state worrying about giving birth to a huge baby!
hope you're ok and have a fab christmas! x x
