Measuring ahead with first
Help! Pregnant with first baby and had my 28 week appt today. He is measuring like 30/31 weeks and is already 3 lbs 3 oz. He is in 71 percentile but his head is in the 97 percentile. So nervous for what this all means but doctor wasn’t concerned yet.

Really nothing to worry about. My first measured "ahead" as well and they estimated crazy numbers and whatnot for him and he was 8 lbs. He's 9 today and totally healthy. He's a little on the thin side according to his pediatrician but that's it lol
Type 1 diabetic here, my son measured ahead although sugars were in normal range, and my high risk doctors had me terrified he was going to be a monster lol. They told me he was measuring close to 10 pounds at 37 weeks. I ended up having a c-section out of fear of him getting stuck. He came out 7 pounds 15 ounces at 38 weeks 🙃 a lot of the time I feel like it’s not nearly as accurate as they say. Try not to worry yourself!

It means nothing. My daughter and my belly measured 2 weeks ahead from 20w to the end of my pregnancy. She was born at 40w4d and weighed 7lb1oz
