I know we had a discussion on this just recently, but am I right that the # of centimetres roughly corresponds to the # of weeks you are?

If so I am freaking out ocz my FH is 28 - I asked the m/w what happens when there is no more room to grow up and she said they will grow out more! I am going to be huge!!

At my last m/w visit on Tuesday I think it was, I was measuring 37cms, which is just about right - not that I'm meaning to panic you Emma !

I think that's about right. And sorry about not getting back to you about that previously... slacker i am. I did look in all my texts but they all just had stuff on single pregnancies - always meant to check the midwifery books but didn't get to the library (i do all my journal research online)

LOL Emma - don't panic. I made it up to 42cm when I was 36 weeks pregnant with Andrew. My fundal height never matched. From the scans it looked like he was stretched out in a basketball player reaching position rather than the traditional ball. At least you've got an excuse with two in there...

That's Ok Janine - it's not like you have other things to do or anything !

I just looked in my pregnancy book from when I was preg with Maya and I was measuring 28 at 27 weeks I will be 20 weeks tomorrow...

My midwife seems quite laid back. I wouldnt have a clue what my fundal height is!

She is not seemed to be a measurer as such but uses her hands and stuff a lot. Mind you she has been doing it for 20 years so I guess she just "knows" whats what!!

well with both my pregnancies my fundal height has been normal but babies have been big so I think its only a rough guide. I wouldnt worry to much and you have to expect to be bigger than the normal cos you have two bubbas to cater for. Enjoy the excuse to be big!
