Hello,

Just wanting to talk to someone! Yesterday at 33wks I was measured (fundal). My bump size has been plotted on chart at 28 weeks, 2 weeks ago MW measured it as 29 weeks. So I am going for a scan tomorrow morning.
This and the fact that I've not put any weight on since end of Feb is making me slightly anxious... i did mention the weight issue with MW a few weeks ago but they didn't seem worried about that.

this is my third baby and last 2 were over 8lb, so its not like I have small babies.

Has anyone else been in similar situation?

I haven't been in that exact situation but my bump never measured consistently from one week to the next. It was all over the place.

Did you have different people measure you? I found that made a big difference. But even the same midwife measured me all over the place too, but less extreme.

I remember feeling quite anxious about the measurements. A midwife told me not to worry, they only exist to make pregnant mothers anxious.

My scan was fine in the end and so was my baby. She is currently on my lap trying to grab the phone as I write 😆

Thanks @hellolittlebaby there were 2 midwives measuring me (the separate weeks I mean) but the one yesterday did get me to lay in about 3 different positions to try and get a bigger measurement but it wasn't happening!
I hope its just 'me' that is small and the baby is fine. she was also 60-70% sure it was breech, annoyingly.

Just an update incase anyone else reads this with same problem.

Had scan and all well, baby measuring on the 20th centile. So small ish but absolutely fine. They said my bump is just small as... its small!

It is breech though... currently..
