Were any of the other measurements on the large side, or was it just the tummy? And did the sonographer mention it to you? I'm 26 weeks now, but when I had my scan at just over 18 weeks nearly all the measurements (legs, head, tummy) were all way above average. The sonographer didn't seem concerned; all babies grow at a different rate so I might be having a large baby or perhaps he had just put on a growth spurt that week! If you are worried, mention it at the next scan and I'm sure they'll put your mind at rest.

Everything else was in the normal range, head and legs maybe slightly bigger than average. I was looking at the book and anything up to 95th centile is normal. Tummy measurement was around 99th centile though.
Will definitely ask at the next scan but has me worrying. I did the thing you shouldn't do and search google, came up saying it could mean a big baby or could mean Gestational Diabetes. I did speak to my aunt who used to be a midwife who said it could be that baby had just sucked a lot of fluid in and not to take any notice of measurements. Easier said than done though

Hi Ladies,

I have finally made it yay!!! Just had our scan and we are 12+1 today, so happy.

Hey everyone, just found this thread. Im in my 17th week and cant wait for my 20 week scan. My midwife appointment at 16 weeks literally was 5 mins, just checked my blood pressure and wrote a few notes. So i am really looking forward to my scan. I am 32 years old and a first time mother. Love to meet other people due around same date.
