Measuring

When did my twin mommies start getting their bellies measured and when you did, how did those measurements compare to those with a singleton? Just Curious!

They started measuring my belly at my 21w OB appt and I was measuring 32 weeks and at 25 weeks I measured 35 weeks.  I definitely feel and look much bigger than 27 weeks at this point!

Around 20 or so....maybe before....these apts. are all running together! No idea what I'm measuring at though....the doc always just says "looks great!" I should be more curious/demanding

I have been measuring about 8-9 weeks ahead of what I should be in weeks. So at 20 weeks I measured 28. Now at 28 weeks I measured 36 weeks.

Oh and I don't really remember when he started measuring... I think maybe at my 16 week appointment?

My midwife started measuring me at 20 weeks and I have consistently measured 12+ weeks ahead.  As of my last measurement @ 37 wks I was measuring in at 55wks.  I will get measured again on Friday for the last time.

I think my gestational carrier was measuring about 36 weeks at 26 weeks, but the doc said it was totally fine. The babies are a healthy 3 lbs each at 28 weeks pregnant!

I was only measured once at my 18 week appt I was measuring 21 weeks.  I'm willing to guess at the time I delivered at 28 weeks I was measuring about 35-36 weeks though!

I've actually never been measured! They are more concerned with overall weight gain, and the growth scans of the babies. Plus it is so obvious that I am giant with my tiger-striped torpedo sausage belly, and measuring way ahead! If I make it to my 37 week appt next week, I might just ask just out of curiosity!

I have been measured since 18 weeks.  My doctor just does it for giggles as there is not an actual fundal height measurement chart for multiples.

At 18 weeks I measured 24 weeks

At 21 weeks I measured 32 weeks

At 23 wees I am measuring 35 weeks

I am now staying about 12 weeks ahead. 

I just think it's funny that in about 4 weeks I should measure about 40 weeks around 28 weeks is what my doctor is guessing.

I started getting measured about 4 weeks ago, this week at my 32 week appt, I measured 6 weeks ahead so about 38 weeks

I think I started getting measured around 17 weeks. At my 31 week appt, I measured 45. I see my OB again tomorrow, and am curious to see what I'm measuring now!

I was only measured a couple of times, usually just to give med students a chance to practice. Fundal height isn't a good indicator of growth in multiples I had a ton of ultrasounds instead.
