Measuring 25 cm...

I had my docs appointment yesterday and I'm 27 weeks and my belly is measuring at 25cm. Does this seem small? Does anyone know what the average belly growth per week is?

Re: Measuring 25 cm...

    It's supposed to be about 1cm per week (ie 27 weeks, 27cm) but there's a couple cm range in both directions. If your ob/midwife isn't concerned, I wouldn't be- especially at 27 weeks- I think my midwife didn't start measuring my fundal height until about 30 weeks.

    My fundal height has been about 2cm ahead consistently and there's been no concern. It actually shrunk 1cm this week and I was told that's normal at this point and is from the baby dropping.

    I have the opposite problem.  I am measuring 42 cm at 36 weeks.  The doctor told me today that 2 cm more or less is what they shoot for so you should be fine.  They are sending me in for an u/s next week to measure him and possible schedule a c-section.
