Measuring Bigger... What does it mean?
July 23, 2008
Hi Dr.Q and Ladies!
I'm hoping you can help me out with this. I had my 30 week appointment today. I'm 30 weeks pregnant today! And I am measuring over 31 weeks and the doctor said I have a big baby and said he weighs around 4 lbs. Does this mean anything? My expected due date is October 1st but I'm wondering since I am measuring bigger that maybe I will go a little sooner than that? Is it normal to be measuring larger? Thanks so much for your help!
Ohh, I also have been having horrible heartburn. Of course I forgot to mention this to my doctor when I was there. I dont get it during the day at all but it keeps me up at night. Is there anything I can do to prevent it? I dont think it matters what I eat because last night I ate a few graham crackers before bed and I didnt think you could get heartburn from graham crackers but lately I get it from anything I eat! Even water!

Aww sweetie im sure its fine you are measuring bigger and maybe he will come a week or so sooner. Gosh 4 pounds already I cant wait. He is getting close!!!
Also with heartburn I usually do TUMS. I get it really bad with everything too. It sucks, its soo bad that I have to sit there and concentrate and swallow because it feels like its coming up my throat and burns so bad. Its the worse heartburn I have ever had, because before pregnancy I would get it but not like this. I really like the berry Tums that they have out now, they taste really good.
Waiting on that 30week pic!

Hi Maria, I just wanted to share my experience. When I was 37wks I was measuring 41 wks gestation! And the baby was measuring 8 1/2 lbs so I was induced because according to the u.s. he had broad shoulders. Well he was born weighing only 7 10oz. So look how off that u.s. was and I went to a special place for my ultrasound, not at the obgyn, but the week earlier I at my obgyn their u.s. also said big baby.
My baby always measured 1 wk ahead exactly..I know when I o'd too. He ended up being born at 35 wks and was exactly 6 lbs which is what the u/s showed 1 wk prior to birth.
Its not a big deal and you probably won't have him extremely early...your doc should be able to fill you in..in the next few wks.

Hey...I agree with everyone else.....It's pretty normal to measure a week early. I did a few times during my pregnancy. You little one may be in a growth spurt or they may just be bigger. Probably nothing to worry about. Now I had the opposite happen than Caryn and Sarah....the doc said Caden was going to be average (6-7lbs) and I got 8lbs,9ozs!! Haha! So one never knows until they arrive. I hope you are great! 10 weeks left! Hugs!
