I measured like that with my youngest son. They did an ultrasound at 35 weeks and found that I had an unusual amount of amniotic fluid. They had thought the baby was super big, but at that point, he was only 6 3/4 lbs. on the ultrasound measurements. They were a little worried that his lungs might not be right because sometimes when something else (like the amnio fluid) is high, the lungs take "second place" to developing. I ended up going into labor 3 days after the ultrasound, and he was born at 7 lbs. .09 oz.....and was COMPLETELY healthy! He was covered with hair in odd places, which they said was normal for a pre-term baby, and he also had that startle reaction really bad...which again, they said was normal because he had nerve endings that were still connecting that full-termers already have. Just make sure you are ready extra early in case you have yours a bit early, too!!
