Measuring Big

mrstanya78

Hello all,

Yesterday I was having a lot of cramping and back pain so my MFM told me to come on in, even though my anatomy scan is on Monday. They were so great and checked me out and I saw both babies, lying bunk bed style! I am only 15 weeks, but measuring 24 weeks. I know in my head I am pregnant with twins and I want healthy babies, but I still feel like a whale! How big was everyone measuring early on if you remember?

  The good thing is I have gained 5lbs finally. Baby A was waving and Baby B was kicking. I look forward to Monday, but have to admit I am still a little nervous!

Take care,

Tanya

Hi Tanya!  I'm kind of surprised they are measuring fundal height already - they didn't start doing that for me until around 20 weeks and I was measuring 27 weeks at that time (7 weeks ahead) so 9 is a little bit more but maybe the difference will be larger or smaller at different appointments?  Sounds like you are right on track and I'd say better to be larger than too small!  Good luck with your A/S Monday!

My OB measured my fundal height at every appointment.  I started seeing her after I already knew I was having twins so I guess she just wanted to keep good track. Don't remember how far ahead I was measuring, but whale-esque sure did feel about right.  I think I was consistently 8-12 weeks ahead of a single gestation.  Wait until 30 weeks   lol

I don't know what my fundal height is, but I'm HUGE!  And some of the pg symptoms that I remember experiencing the last time around (towards the end of the pregnancy) have already started.  I'm freaking out at the idea that this will continue and only get worse.  I've gained a little more weight (9 or 10 pounds), but I feel like a giant. Sorry you're feeling it too... we'll make it, hang in there!

16 weeks was measuring 22 weeks. Today at 20 weeks 1 day measured 30 weeks.

My doctor didn't start doing fundal height until 20 or 24 weeks - at which point I consistently measure 10-12 weeks ahead.  Don't be concerned.  It's also not your first baby, so that will contribute to your size!

I have been measuring 8-10 weeks ahead all along. I too feel HUGE!  I am big though but have to keep reminding myself there are two in there! I have friends who are 8-9 mo's pregnant with one baby and I am way bigger then them.
