16wks pregnant with twins, measuring 25 weeks...

I can't find any information on what is considered 'normal' for this, but at my 16 wk appt yesterday, my dr. measured my fundal height and told me I'm measuring 25cm, or 25 weeks. Anyone know what is typical for 16 weeks with twins? Heartbeats were 135 and 149. My next u/s isn't for 4 weeks...

    From what I've read in the book by Dr. Luke fundal height is about 4-8 weeks ahead of singletons.  That is what I have been measuring as well.  Yesterday I measured at 36 wks, which is 8 wks ahead. Sounds like you're right on track with nice heartbeats. 

    I should say that with a singleton, those measurements can change and vary based on baby position.  My fundal heights with my singletons varied based on which way they were laying during that appointment - head one time, behind another, right on at another.

    Sounds perfect!  I'm 14w4d and measured at 20w today.  My OB said this is a big growth time and she would expect me to measure about 4-10w ahead for now.

    I measured about 9w ahead from about 18w on.  Sounds normal to me :)

    At my last appt I was 23 wks measuring at 31 wks. The appt before that I was 20 wks measuring at 26 wks. Sounds like you are right around the "normal" of 4-8 weeks PP mentioned.

    My measurements were always 5-6 weeks ahead of where I was at gestatinally :) SO when I delivered at 38, I was feellig 44 weeks! LOL which is a lot to carry on a  5'1" frame! :)

    My doctor has always done ultrasounds so he measures that way so that is right on he has never measured me without the ultrasound so I'm curious what I'm measuring at!

    Thanks for all of the responses - I feel better now. Not sure why I was stressing, but I have to laugh.... I forgot that I posted the question. I was reading posts this morning and clicked on my own - not realizing I was the original poster yesterday. Ugh.... I blame it on holiday stress.

    Thanks ladies!
