measuring big

At my 26 weeks appt. I measured 37 weeks. In the beginning the doctor told us at 40 weeks you body gets ready for labor. With the way I growing I'll only be 29 weeks when I hit 40. Is anyone else measuring so big? How big did you get before you went into labor? Just looking for some reassurance. thanks Katherine

 

I always measured 4-10 weeks ahead. I measured 43 at 34 weeks, which was the last measurement that they took. I delivered at 37 weeks.

 

I was measuring full-term (40cm) at 30w. By the time I gave birth (40w2d), I measured 54cm.

You have LOTS of room to grow

 

Not to worry. I was measuring 37 weeks at 24 weeks. My doctor told me that I could grow up to 55cm!

 

My OB warned us that around 29 weeks with twins I would measure 40... so sounds like you are right on the mark....

In my third trimester I generally measured 10 weeks ahead.

 

I was concerned about this as well. My DS was born at 39 weeks & was 6lbs 15oz... just an oz shy of 7lbs. Anyways I started getting nervous as I started measuring bigger. I thought that if my body could only hold 7lbs in until 39 weeks that HOW THE **** was I supposed to hold these girls for that long. Well none the less I went in yesterday... at 34 weeks I am measuring 43!!!! & my doc says I am still holding out strong!!!
