what were you measuring when you delivered

nikinikinine · October 2010

at my OB appointment this week I was measuring 35 weeks. I keep looking down and thinking this is 35 weeks? I thought I'd be bigger. I can't help but think having one inside there after this will be so much easier.

Wondering how big, big will get before I deliver. TIA!

my doc stopped measuring at some point b/c he said it's not really ever accurate anyway.... i think it was around 32w that i was measuring 40w - and that's when he said that PTL was really a risk b/c the body thinks "Ok- i'm big enough to be full term" and often goes into labor.

positions of baby can make it all change - i went down some weeks b/c the babies were in weird positions- so don't get too bent out of shape over the fundal height measurment. some women carry wider, some more sticking out in front - so it doesn't mean a whole lot.

I only got measured once in the last 2 months b/c the OB I transferred to didn't see a point to measuring fundal height when you're doing u/s, growth scans, weight checks, etc. Last I knew I was measuring 8 weeks ahead at 30w so I'm guessing I measured 46-48w when I delivered at 37w6d.

im measuring at 37 weeks and im 27. i feel like im slowing down a bit though for some reason, growing outwards at least. Im being told the babies are still growing at a good pace, so im not worrying about size. ive gained wayyy tooo much but the boys are healthy.

and im told thats whats important.

I delivered at 36w5d and measured 47 weeks. I'm very short-waisted so the babies had nowhere to go but out. I couldn't drive because I couldn't fit my belly behind the wheel and reach it with my arms.
