Q: Question On Measuring, And a Update........

So i had my visit yesterday for 35 weeks. Or my regular. We found out that she did switch to head down. That's good. I asked what i was measuring at, and she said i was measuring at 37 weeks. Now i have never asked her what i was measuring before so i don't know if i have all this time. I know it can mean a big baby too, but how often does it really mean i could be farther along than they think i am. My very first visit the lady said i was 10 weeks, and the US said 8. So it's possible that i MIGHT be 2 weeks ahead of what i think i am. Not really sure, but that would be soooo nice if it was lol. Anyone else have this before, and deliver before the due date? And really be ahead of what they thought they were? Just wondering. Kinda excited i might be closer! Very Happy Very Happy

But the pink eye is good. Got some drops for it. I should be good to go for tomorrow. I go in next visit for the group b strep, or whatever it's called. Anyone had this before? And they will check me to see if i'm dialated.

She said if i'm still goobery, and red then i don't have to. But if i'm ok i'll still go in. I only work 4 days now so i can't really afford to miss a day. Besides it will be dead anyways. I'll just sit on my butt, and read the forums all night lol

The measuring: is not a good indicator of how far along you are. You will be /- 2 cm every week. For instance, this week you may be 37 and next week you may still be 37. It generally correlates with the amount of weeks you are however it also has to do with the amount of amniotic fluid you have, the position of the baby, how high the baby is, etc.

Essentially, you are right on for 35 weeks. Smile
