Eeek, I'm 27 weeks and I'm 40! Shock Consoling myself that it must just be that it's my second baby or the roast we've just had for tea. Does this mean the bubs HUGE?!

39inches and 33 weeks - a bit Shock as I have always had a 25 inch waist, didn't realise I could get so big!! (This is DC1 so I'm fairly naive in these matters!)

Fundal height as measured by midwife?

20cm, but I'm 26wks, under observation for my teeny bump.

JambalayaCodfishPie · 15/01/2012 19:36

Oh, you mean waist measurement? Blush 32 inches.

kiki22 · 15/01/2012 19:37

Im confused now Confused From top of bump to bottom I am 14 and a half inches, 35 round and waist is 33 inches.

I measure at my bellybutton around my bump! The MWs measure 'fundal height' which is from where they palpate the top of the uterus and down to the pubic bone. I'm not confident about doing that myself. Have to say am reassured by your replies; thx. My measurement seemed ENORMOUS! This is my 3rd baby, and my bump feels way bigger this time. Also: have numb feeling area at top L hand side which started about 4 days ago. Anyone else have this?

Ps Can any of you really still see your waist!!! Mine disappeared a v long time ago!! Plus think I've now got generous love handles which I'm all too aware will be soooo obvious when bubba pops out! :-(

Pps mrs Cog, fret not. Both previous pregnancies I ended up smaller than I had been pre pregnancy-eventually! Though while I breastfed I couldn't seem to lose any weight at all. Through a combination of regular 'comfort' snacking and just pure stubbornness on the part of my body to shed an ounce!

ps - Benzer, over my diaphragm has been numb/pins-and-needley/sore for about 6 weeks now. Worse on my right side. Just decided it was "one of those things" and asked my OH to rub it... Grin
