  • That's very normal.  With twins you usually measure 4-8 weeks ahead of where someone that's pg with a single baby measures.

    I'm also wondering how much more I can stretch!

  • It's perfectly normal.  Almost all twins measure 4 to 10 weeks ahead of singletons (depending on the positions of the babies).
  • They measured my fundal height today too, but didn't give me the number, just said that "yep, you're measuring big"!  This doc in my office is funny!  I actually hope he's the one on call when I deliver.

    I think we can stretch further than we realize! 

  • That sounds normal! I also measured 40 weeks at my appt on Wednesday, the day before the picture in my siggy was taken. Our bodies are doing amazing things!

  • I just am dreading nicu time.
  • Completely normal -- they stopped measuring me at one point because the doctor joked he had "run out of tape," lol. 
  • Perfectly normal :)  And FWIW, I don't think your fundal measurement will be related to NICU time so just don't stress and put your feet up mama.
  • Mine was 30 this week at my 20+ week appt so I'm pretty sure it is normal> I've seen women on here who have measured 50 around the time of deliver so I think you can stretch more (fortunately or unfortunately :) ). don't stress, like pp said, go put your feet up, hydrate & relax! (easy to say, right?)
  • You'll always measure way ahead now. I measured 52w when I had my section at 37w Crying

  • Yep, that's very normal. I measured about 8 weeks ahead in the 3rd tri.
