Tummy circumference!

Out of interest I measured my bellys circumference at the belly button last week. At 31 weeks it measured 40 inches.

Did it again today and it's increased by an inch, but if I increase an inch a week for potentially up to 10 weeks, I think I may struggle with simple things like doors and getting through them!!!

I am 35+3 and 44 circumference !!! I keep catching my bump on things and have to wash up sideways lol. I am hoping I dont grow any more.....I have been keeping a watch on my weight and I have gained and lost 2lb twice now in the last couple of weeks so I am not putting on too much weight. However my bump is going out and out !!!!!

Just measured mine after reading this - I'm 34+3 weeks and 42 inches. Everyone keeps commenting about how huge I am, they give me this really surprised look when I say I've still got another 6 weeks.
But I'm only 5 foot tall, so I think my bump appears bigger.

I'm 34+5 and 44 inches circumference. Everyone says I'm small. My midwife is sending me to the consultant because she's worried about growth. I'm 5 foot 8 though so obviously height has a massive impact on how people perceive bumps.
How tall are the rest of you?

I'm 5'4". I've put 1.5 stone on, but I wish I'd measured my belly round with my past 2 DCs so I have something to compare!

I had 1 7lb11oz and 1 9lb11oz but I suppose the size of the bump can depend on water, your general size anyway and maybe how the baby is lying?
