I'm currently at 36 weeks of pregnancy and measured at 39 weeks! My baby has been consistently measuring larger for most of my third trimester but never THIS much! He is also engaged in my pelvis - is there a chance that he could come early? Has this ever happened to anyone before?

this happened to me at 35 weeks i was measuring 39 weeks and i had my baby 2 days after my due date and she was a big girl 10 pounds

Well, there is a chance you could have your baby early. But, it would have nothing to do with the large measurement. It just means your baby is going to be a larger baby.

I know I am 25 weeks pregnant. I am measuring at 28 weeks. My Doctor said after 18 weeks, the measurement isn't accurate. Babies come in different sizes.

this happened to my cousin. Ever since about 28 weeks on she was measuring to big about 32 when 28 weeks and then so one through the rest of her pregnancy. she then went into labor a month early. you will most wikely have the baby early! good luck!

Nah, not necessarily. It's not all that reliable an indication.

"There is no measurement more exact than ultrasound, and even this isn't perfect. But the fundal height, recorded with each visit, is even more inaccurate. Many obstetricians in private practice who see the same patients over and over (small and solo practices), may not even record it, but merely record whether the size of the uterus is compatible with the gestational age. A physician who is familiar with his or her patients will generally know when a baby isn't growing right during the many visits of the pregnancy. And if there is suspicion of a growth restricted baby or an LGA (large for gestational age baby), then ultrasound is the standard of care to sort out any worries--NOT A FUNDAL HEIGHT..."

Yes and I had a 10lb baby, 10 days late. Good luck.
