I went to the dr. and he measured me with a tape measurer, and said I was measuring 30 weeks, when according to my LMP I am only 24 weeks. What does this mean? am I 24 or 30?

JennSever - 145 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) stick w/ the 24 but be mindful that your baby might be overtly large. OR the baby is having a large growth spurt and might level off and not get too much bigger. its a hard call. some women also have lots of amniotic fluid making the uterus measure larger. u/s are not good indicators of a babies true size. it could be a multitude of reasons why you are measuring larger. don't worry though if your baby is growing fine.

When I was 23 weeks I measured 23 weeks, then at my next appointment I was 28 weeks but only meausred 24 then at my 32 week appointment I measured 35 weeks. So it varies. I got an u/s and my dd is the same and all my baby's measurements are right on track. So it does depend on the way the baby is lying.
