Fundal height.

Man, oh man. So, I usually have big babies but, I’ve been so proud of myself because at my 20 week, 24 week, and during my echo a few weeks after, she was measuring always in the 50th percentile via ultrasound. However, three weeks after my last appt, the doctor said she was measuring around 33 weeks. I’m so upset because yes, I know ultrasounds can be off but, makes no sense because at my echo, she was 1lbs, 11oz and that was 50th percentile and at 33 weeks a baby should weigh about 4lbs .. I am on three different insulins.. I take insulin 5 times a day, I’ve been dieting, I take blood pressure medicine.. I really want a regular size baby.. my first was 11lbs, 6oz, my second was 9lbs, 9oz, my third was 8lbs, 12oz (a month early), my last baby was 9lbs, 8oz… I’m just upset because I thought I was doing good. She said it could be because of the way she’s laying but I’m hoping that’s the case. I really want to be different this time.

I am on my 27 weeks, 3 days so a fundal height of 33 makes me upset

My baby has been measuring in the 90th percentile my entire pregnancy and I’m a 5’5 130 pound woman lol with no prior history of anything. Baby size also depends on dad

@Destiny im not sure what percentile it is with the fundal height but it’s odd how she was fine three weeks ago for an ultrasound but at my doctors when they measured my stomach she was big. I was 8lbs even and my husband was 5lbs. My husband currently is only 150lbs and I’m 236 so I’ve gained about 10lbs
