Today i had my 20 week Sono and basically all of my babies body parts are measuring within 5 days of each other. Besides the legs which are measuring a week and a half to 2 weeks ahead of everything else. Is this normal? My doc basically said "we will keep an eye on it to see whats going on" when i asked why the response i got was "because its legs

I wouldn't be. Maybe it's just going to be tall? Did you get to find out what you're having?

I wouldn't worry. Two weeks off in either direction is considered okay.

My kid had big feet at the anatomy scan and longer legs. I'm assuming he's going to be a gigantic beast like a lot of the guys in my family.

I really wouldn't be worried about it if I were you. If everything was measuring within 5 days, let's say it was all measuring 5 days ahead. If the legs are a week ahead, that's only 2 more days. And, like the above poster said, that's just fine.

Perfectly normal as far as I know. My little guy was 2 wks ahead in the arms & legs from our first u/s @ 18 wks. My tech and doctors had no issue w/ it and by 32 weeks, he was measuring 2 wks big from head to toe. No one as surprised as I'm 5'8" and my husband is 6'4" :)

eta- even being 2 wks big, he's still estimated to be in the 75% percentile, well within normal range.

My son was exactly like that too at our 20 week ultrasound.... he's almost 2 years old now and he's a tall and skinny little thing. :)

Same here, with my 1 year old. Nothing to worry about.
