Measuring Big For My 18th Week...help! Posted: 09-03-03 15:50pm
I
was at the Dr. Today..She said i'm
measuring the size of a 22 week fetus when
I am supposed to be 17 1/2 to 18 weeks
along. I am positive on the date of my
last period and my last period was heavy
as normal....So....What else could it be??
Anyone have any answers for me? Please
tell me if you do. I am worried...And
hopefully for nothing! We did hear the
heartbeat and all other test are normal
thus far. She is sending me for my 1st
ultrasound in 2 weeks but I am wanting to
know the possibilities now!

Maybe your baby is just growing fast and
healthy. Not much to worry about. I knew
a lady who was huge! Like her stomach was
going to fall off and her baby only
weighed almost 8 pounds! You could be
holding a 10 pounder in there! Or your
calculations could be wrong. The peiod
before the one you mentioned might have
been spotting and you were already
pregnant so your a few weeks ahead now.
If everything fine, then dont stress over
it. Good luck!

....This is what other pregnant women used
to call me in my prenatal class!I dont
know if ots the same,or if its any
consolation,but at 3 months , I looked as
if I was 6.By the 5th month I looked as if
I had twins...By the end of the
pregnancy,i "popped" my knee,under the
weight....
It was mostly amniotic fluid(while in
labor,my baby kept "swiming"in me,we could
see her move.It was surreal).
She was big though, nearly 4 kgs.
I wouldnt worry too much....
People come in all shape and sizes,...And
so do babies....
Thats my opinion.
Relax and enjoy it,cause this is a magical
time.Literally!

Hello I always measured big after about
the 18 week too. The doc said I was just
going to have a huge baby.Wich scared me a
little. But my children were only
6lbs11oz and 8lbs2oz. So don't worry and
just enjoy your belly.
