How big did you measure at delivery?

Gibson824

How big did BTDT MoMs measure at delivery?  I am seriously considering making a shirt that says "There are two in there" to address those craning their necks like I am the frickin' elephant man or something.  Look away, people!

Mrs.AshAsh

Haha. Im not sure since I havent delivered my twins yet. As for my singletons, my first was the bigger of the two and she was 5 days late. At delivery, I measured 37.5 to 38w. Ive already surpassed that at 33. Im measuring 40 right now. I get looks like Im the octomom ...haha.

I pretty consistently measured 10 weeks ahead (my OB didn't start taking measurements until about half way through).

I'm still waiting to deliver, but at 31 weeks I'm measuring 38. I look and feel all of 38 weeks! I delivered DS1 at 35 and DS2 at 37.

A week before I delivered I measured 52 weeks !!!! :0
I was freakishly huge.

I really think this t-shirt idea may be where it's at.  Otherwise I may just have to go around shouting it to people.

I haven't been measured since I was about 18 weeks, my MFM doesn't measure since we have frequent growth scans. I don't really understand the point.

I was 37w2d at delivery and I was measuring 47 weeks as of my appt. at 36w4d

ETA: pics from the night I went into labor (37w1d) including the rarely shared bare belly shot.

I am 35w 5d and measured 44 weeks at my last appt on Monday. I could definitely use a tshirt so I don't have keep explaining!!

JodiAriel

I measured 57 weeks at my last appt (39w3d) before delivery.  I was ENORMOUS.

I didn't have any actual measurements throughout the pregnancy, but I was seriously enormous by the end. The last pic here was a week before delivery. I was wearing maxi dresses almost exclusively at that point because nothing else fit. 

Edit: the ends are cut off on the file preview, but if you click on it, my 36w3d hugeness is there in all its glory.

JodiAriel, how big were your babies?  I can not imagine your poor hip discomfort

I only measured between 2-3 weeks ahead. Delivered at 35 weeks 3 days.

katiebenes

I just hit 36 weeks. as you can tell by my face: I'm overjoyed and so excited

LucyRicardo3

I delivered at 34w5d, measuring 42 wks.

I was never measured when I was pg. I could barely fit in a booth at a restaurant at the end, though. Or eat comfortably at a table.

JordynLeighx3

Measured 48weeks. Delivered at 35w6d. This was my last bump pic at 35w. I looked MUCH larger in person!!

mrsmac08

I didn't get measured at the end (delivered at 37 weeks)...but I was measuring 40 weeks at 30 weeks. I'm only 5'2 and had big babies - I was seriously huge at the end (and had to have back surgery after the babies were born).

Mrs.Guz

I haven't delivered yet, but the last two times I was measured, I measured 5-6 weeks ahead. I'm 35 weeks, so probably measuring 40-41 weeks. Definitely feel a lot bigger than that though.

B&K706

I delivered at 34w5d and was measuring 38 weeks. I consistently measured between 3-5 weeks ahead. I think if I had gone further the discrepancy would have been greater.

@gibson824 My girls were 6 lbs 13 oz and 6 lbs 9oz.  I only gained 17 lbs my whole pregnancy so I was all belly. The collage shows 39w4d all the way down to the day I found out I was pregnant at 9dpoIUI

I'm measuring 42 weeks at 35 weeks! Only two more weeks for me to go!

Search for "Awesome shirt for Moms of Twins" on this board, I posted a link to a site that sells "Twins" shirts.  Some were amazing, I'd want them all!    I think there's at least one that would fit anyone's attitude.

This entire thread is scaring me! I already feel huge at 25 weeks, I can't imagine measuring in the 50s!! OMG!

Mthurm17

I'm 32 weeks and measuring 40 wks. I'm getting nervous my remaining maternity items that still fit will soon be too small!

CaliCarly77

I just got back from the doctor. I am 17.5 weeks and measured 26 weeks today :S :S :S 

I'm scared. This post came at the right time - I know I can do it!! 

Gibson824

I wasn't measured yesterday, but I previously was measuring 6 weeks ahead.   I am just over people making open comments about me having the baby at any minute.  Not to mention that my maternity shirts are starting to look like little belly tops.  At my appointment yesterday the nurse was like, "I really commend you."  Gee, thanks...

kbeach82

Ginormous? I delivered just shy of 37 weeks (36+5) and I think I measured 48 weeks. I measured around 10 weeks ahead for most of my pregnancy.

hjoy_06

I delivered at 36w1d and I measured 56 weeks!!! The crazy thing was from the back you couldn't tell I was pregnant, my HUGE belly just stuck straight out. Even crazier...no stretch marks!

JodiAriel

I have a maternity t-shirt listed for sale on the moms of multiples resale page if anyone is interested.  It's an XL and reads "I make twins what's your superpower?"

Mrs.AshAsh

Was just measured this past week.  At 35w I was measuring 44w.  I'm wondering what my next appointment, at 36w, will tell me I'm measuring at.  I'm not sure I want to know...haha.

megs2011

I measured 5 weeks ahead my entire pregnancy. I delivered at 34.4 and measured 39 weeks. My babes were tiny when born though as I only gained 25lbs (2.9lbs and 3.7lbs).

sweetsugarmama

I think I hit 40 around 28 weeks? My dr stopped telling me after that. I delivered at 31. The only reason I could ever get him to say is that I was at full capacity and my body thought it was done.

BabyCarryingVessel

I was consistently 7 weeks ahead, so 43 weeks at delivery. I am loving all these beautiful bump pictures! This was me around 32 weeks. People always said I didn't look too huge, and I'd agree. The girls were 6,9 and 7,1.
