Mine was measuring exactly 28cm at my 28 week appointment last week.

BeautyAndTheBump1 · 27/05/2020 15:06

27cm at 28 weeks
Then at 31 weeks I was 28cm and been measuring behind since. 32cm at 38 weeks.

I've just been measured today at 28+6 and I'm exactly 28cms

Superscientist · 27/05/2020 16:39

I was measured yesterday 26.5 cm

Birdy1991 · 27/05/2020 17:05

Measured 29cm at 27+6 😊

ml01omm · 27/05/2020 18:01

over 30 cms - they are sending me for a growth scan as too big.

babyin2020 · 27/05/2020 19:08

I measured myself to be 32cm could have measured wrong but definitely feel big

I wouldn't overly worry about the size of your bump, I have consistently measured 6 weeks behind and get sent for growth scans every two weeks to check the size of baby and every time I go to a scan she's perfectly on target for her growth. My midwife said I measure smaller as I'm tall and because baby was transverse. She's now head down at 39+3 and we are expecting a 7lb baby 😁

I’ve just been measured today. I’m 27+5 and my bump is 29cm. It put me over the 97th percentile but my midwife didn’t seem worried at all

Dont stress over the fundas measurment i measured 37 weeks at 32 weeks 😂 growth scan showed he was slightly just above average growth as in a few days ahead. Those measuring tape measurements can be way off the charts ! Xx

Daisy95 · 27/05/2020 20:01

I’m now 29 weeks and I’m measuring 19cm so having growth scans, baby is small but not as small as they thought so I wouldn’t worry to much about bump size 😊

HSunflower · 27/05/2020 20:19

My bump measured 31cm at my 28 week appointment, so I have a scan booked next week to double check the size of baby.
Ive read lots about bump measurements, and I don't think it's a very accurate way to idenifty size of baby, so I wouldn't worry too much ☺️

KittyKat2020 · 28/05/2020 10:16

No ones measured my bump, are they supposed too?

Babyshine2020 · 28/05/2020 10:18

29cm at 28+4

Dyra · 28/05/2020 10:39

31cm.

But then I have a high BMI, which increases the measurement. I was also having growth scans, so we knew that while baby was big, she was within normal ranges.

Megzmoo · 28/05/2020 11:17

@KittyKat2020 my midwife starting measuring every two weeks from my 28 week appointment 🙂

sel2223 · 28/05/2020 11:25

@KittyKat2020 mine was measured for the first time yesterday at my '28 week' appt (although I was actually 28+6)

KittyKat2020 · 28/05/2020 11:49

I had my 28 week appointment yesterday and she didn’t message me she just poked a bit and said my uterus was in the place she expected

KittyKat2020 · 28/05/2020 11:49

*measure me

20viona · 28/05/2020 12:06

I was way off the whole way through think it was 23cm at 28 weeks. I was induced at 37 weeks and baby was 5lb 3oz.
