Hello. At 21 weeks and 2 days pregnant, I went for my prenatal appointment and my fundal height measured 25cm. The consultant and midwive didn't say anything about it being so large for my dates but I am now concerned that it may mean there could be something wrong with the baby. My 11 and 18 week ultrasounds were normal and the baby was measuring a week ahead in both ultrasounds. There is only 1 baby in there so I am def not having twins. Has anyone else measured this far ahead? I am very worried.

I know it's easy to worry when your pregnant. Everything becomes suspicious. I would say that based on what your reporting about the measurements everything is fine. There is no exact... just a range of norms. Maybe the baby is laying differently, placenta may be in a position causing uterus to measure higher, etc. I have had 5 children. If they thought something was wrong... you would know. Enjoy the pregnancy. Due dates are not exact. Everything has gone well with your pregnancy. Next week another worry will take the place of this one and you will totally forget about this question. This is all very normal. :O)
