big bump measurement

i’ve just been for my 31 week appt (i’m 31+3) and my bump is measuring above the 97th percentile so have to go for a scan. just wondering what this could mean has anyone had a similar thing happen? thanks☺️

I've had this, my baby is measuring (via scan) at 90th centile as of today so going back every 2 weeks to keep measuring and if it doesn't settle down to below 90 I'll probably give birth a bit earlier to get baby out. Hoping it's a growth spurt tho and will end up back down to 71st (where it was before). Midwife did say there is nothing I can do, so not to worry about eating or anything, just carry on as normal! I will say, originally my bump was on the 9th centile and they thought baby was too small 🙃🙃🙃 so the bump measurements are seemingly absolutely useless

@Emma thank you!💓 crazy isn’t it how it can jump and change in a few weeks 😳x

Yeah it is so bizarre, plus they say the scan measurements can be off by 10% as well so might be more like 80% anyway!

I had exactly that but then I measured on the scan at 70th percentile so the bump measurements really aren’t that accurate
