i got a 3d ultrasound and my baby had ALOT of fat, chubby cheeks, etc.... most babies dont start putting on fat like that til the end... plus, i can feel her inside me how big she is.... i am due in late may and there is no way she can keep growing till then.... is it possible for some babies to just mature faster than others and come earlier??? i think if she were to stay there until end of may she would be like 15 pounds!!! ↓

No, they all mature at the same rate - some are just bigger than others. 40 weeks gestation is the norm.

Gestational diabetes can cause babies to grow too big. ↑

Jenn, my son was over 10 pounds! He was stubborn and hid it well, my Dr. assured me he wouldn't be too big but I knew because I could feel him. He didn't come early, in fact I had to be induced, but all babies are different and it is much better to have a big baby than a really small one that needs extra care. Don't worry, your baby will be fine. ↑
