    Measuring ahead at 32 weeks!

    Ladies, whilst I'm certain I'm having a boy, I'm still clinging to the smallest hope that I might be cooking a girl in here!! Had a scan today and while I'm 32 weeks babies measuring 33 weeks and 4 days. My son also measured ahead by about 2 weeks at this time, so feeling even more certain we are having a little brother, but tell me.. did anyone measure ahead and have a girl???
    TIA!

    I don't think it means gender either. My 1st son was on dates. 2nd son was behind at 1st then caught up and then ended up big. 3rd son was borderline below to on date was small compared to 1st 2. This one started out being bigger for dates so they have moved my due date forward. Find out next week what im having

    That's good to know! I didn't think twins usually measured ahead, they must be thriving

    Yes we are really hoping for a girl. We did a girl away too.

    It seems to be more common for girls to measure smaller than boys, but definately not always! So yes there's absolutely a chance for a girl. My two sons always measured average or a bit ahead. Now I'm team green and lo measuring a bit behind and tech things it will be a small one at birth. About a pound lighter then my sons, so who knows what this lo is.

    My biggest baby was a girl and she was my first born. Size isn't an indicator of gender. Also take it with a grain of salt. 2weeks+/- is normal with measurements and doesn't actually mean that the baby is bigger or smaller as it can often be that the person doing the measuring makes small errors or does the measurements slightly differently. A gf of mine had a baby measure 4 weeks ahead and was a baby girl.


    Two girls and one boy, due October 16
    DD in 2009
    DD2 in 2012
    Swayed with GD in 2013 and had a beautiful DS in 2014
    Currently TTC another blue bundle. Wish me luck!

    Yes I always measured ahead (2-3 weeks) and what's more, my daughter was my second biggest baby, despite not gaining as much with her as I did with DS 2,3, and 4.

    I have heard it may have to do with where your placenta is located and also what baby is up to, if they're laying up against the front of the uterus.
