OK Had my Sono Today...I have one BIG BABY!
Alright, I had my sono today to measure the baby's growth since I have been measuring 4 weeks ahead for the last couple of months.
They baby looks great and is fine. My amniotic fluid level is high though...and she is BIG!
I am 35 weeks 3 days pregnant...and her little chubby body is already measuring in at 37 weeks 5 days!!
But wait, it gets better....her HEAD is measuring at 39 weeks 5 days!!!!!!
And....better YET is her weight!!!!!! She weighs 7 lbs 1 oz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have to have another glucose test even though I passed the last one w/flying colors. If I do have gestational diabetes they are inducing me at 37 weeks...which is a little over 2 weeks away!! If I DONT have GB, they will probably take me in 3 weeks because at this rate of growth, I'm going to have a 10-11 lb baby!
So I have to see my regular dr on Monday and the have the glucose test...then I have to have another sono to see how her growth has increased.
OMG girls...I could be down to the last 2 weeks and my baby is soo BIG!! This is surreal!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, they are worried that I may have GB since she is so big. But my test last time came back fine - passed with flying colors. So, the dr said maybe its GB but maybe she is just a big baby on her own.
Either way I seriously doubt they're goint to let me go to term ....I'll have this baby before May 8th I'm pretty sure of that.

Re: OK Had my Sono Today...I have one BIG BABY!
Those tests aren't completely accurate. I had GD and they said I would have a 9-10lb baby and he was only 8lbs. Try not to worry

Re: OK Had my Sono Today...I have one BIG BABY!
Kathy- I know you already know what happened with me...
After they did my amnio and found out I was like 2 weeks ahead of the game- I had the baby the very next day- NO ONE EVER UPDATED MY CHART...
So when I delivered a almost 8lb baby at what my chart said was 36 weeks (when in fact I was 38) they swore I had GD- They had to stick a needle in my babies foot every 2 hrs to test his levels...
Is it possible they just screwed up your due date? (Because when it boils down to it, thats exactly what happened to me) I think they should do all other tests to make sure its not GD... but is the fact that you could possibly be further along, a question???
Either way- its gonna be soon... how exciting!

We're pretty sure about my due date becasue I was seeing an RE when I got PG and we were doing IUIs and having blood tests.....so they are pretty sure about when I concieved.
And at my level 2 sono at 20wks, everything was right on target. I also passed my glucose test and dont feel like my sugar is off at all - so I dont know what it is.
I'm going to see my OB Monday and see what she thinks. All I know is I better get that hospital bag packed this weekend just incase!
Thanks for the suggestions too, I'm going to talk to my dr about it.

I forgot about all that....
Hmmm....Well I guess it will be one of those mysterys you'll never really know....
Weight wise those things are off all the time... but to be measuring that far ahead its gotta be one or the other (you gotta a BIG baby, or you are in fact further along)
Are you effaced or dialating yet??? SOOOOOOOOOOOO exciting!
Your story just reminds me so much of mine (although totally different situation) I ended work early... thinking Id have time to myself, and the very week that my time off began is when I found out I was further along blah blah blah, and had the baby that week!
Its all gonna go so fast

Re: OK Had my Sono Today...I have one BIG BABY!
On Monday when I see my OB I'll have my first internal so we'll see if I'm dialated or anything yet! I'm hoping I am...because the nurses at my doctors office really seem to think Im going to end up with a c/s and I really dont want that if I can avoid it.

Re: OK Had my Sono Today...I have one BIG BABY!
Sounds like my first pregnancy! Andrew was born at 37 weeks at 9 1/2 lbs..... I did not have GD. I just grow them big! Had I gone full term, I would have had an 11-12 lb baby! That's why they are keeping close eye on me this time. So far, she is measuring smaller, but I will have another sono at 36 weeks to check out her size (I am 34 weeks now).

Re: OK Had my Sono Today...I have one BIG BABY!
Holy Moly big baby already! But how exciting, you could be an April mommy!
At 32 weeks, my chunker weighed almost 5lbs, I could just imagine how much she gained now at almost 36 weeks.
I may be an April mommy too, if she gets too big, I'll know in 2 weeks!
Good luck! I hope you don't have GD, and just grow big babies!!
I cannot believe how fast time as flown, it feels like yesterday we got our BFP's, I am only 3 days ahead of you!
Good luck! She'll be here soon! So exciting!!
