You are further along than you think; you are carrying twins; you just carry "big". Most of your questions will probably be answered at your scan but it will be interesting to see if you remain ahead of dates or it evens out.

I was 2 -3 weeks ahead in fundal measurement through my whole pregnancy, It turned out I was carrying a big baby, she was born at 38 weeks at 9lbs.

I was sent for scans once a fortnight after 34 weeks to check everything was going o.k.

The medical term they used to describe me was "macrosomia" - big baby syndrome, just lovely huh!!

But she was born perfect, just very very long!!

My fundal height (height of the uterus) is measuring around 31 weeks + - I'm 25 now. I'm having twins though. Just means your uterus is higher/bigger than the "average" for your gestation.

Don't stress - I was measuring 2-3 weeks ahead the whole way through and JJ was born pretty much right on time and was only on the slightly larger side of normal (4kg)
