How many weeks are you AND...WHAT ARE YOU MEASURING??? - Page 2

I'm 21 weeks and measuring 23 weeks. No biggie. With my 1st pregnancy I measured 6 weeks ahead towards the end!!

At my last appointment I was 34w3d and measuring 34 weeks - so, right on, but seems like there can be a good variance. I went through my first PG diary (no diary this time, NO time this time around with a toddler!), and found that around 37 weeks the baby dropped and I started measuring 2 weeks behind.

As a PP mentioned, there are so many variables, and different measuring techniques.

Can you believe these babes will be here so soon!? Who will be first?? (not me, DS was 2 weeks late, so I'm just hoping this babe will be in APRIL - my due date is DH's bday, the 17th!)

Cheers

It depends on who measures me! One midwife consistently gets 2cm larger than the week I am on (ie. 37cm at 35 weeks) and another got 40cm at 34 weeks, which I wasn't. I had to go for another ultrasound, and baby was fine, fluid fine, etc. I carry some fat at the top, because I gained lots of weight early on because I had to eat every hour to hold down food! If someone doesn't know my body, they think I am huge! I am glad the other midwife knows me. I am done with ultrasounds, etc.

I'm 37 weeks today, and today, measured... 37 weeks. This was the same midwife who thought I was measuring ahead, and was adamant about getting an ultrasound at 35 weeks (which, I agreed on because I needed to know the position for various reasons). Anyway, everything is checking out to be Very Average, and that makes me Very Happy.

She mentioned "oh, the baby is giving you some mama beauty marks" -translation- ENOUGH STRETCH MARKS TO MAKE YOU LOOK LIKE ROADKILL. I said, "yup".

Last time I measured I was about five days behind. I was a couple days behind before that.
