Bumps

[ninjawomble]

Im cant be sure (preggo brain alert) but Im sure I read somewhere that if you get a tape measure to your bump, its should be a cm for a week, e'g 30 cm = 30 weeks.
I just did mine and its 40 cm
Either Ive got it wrong or WHOA!!

I dont look full term for sure!! Did I get it wrong..or measure wrong bit?
Or am I just a bloater!

You need to measure from your pelvis to the top of your uterus. The top of the uterus is not necessarily where the top of your 'bump' is. My bump is round and I look definitely pregnant but I know the top of my uterus is still below my belly button. I'm guessing the rest of my 'bump' is everything that has been pushed about in there.

Not sure if that makes sense?

yep is was me being a div!!

I just measured at 24cm...thats so much better!!

God I shouldnt be allowed out in public

At least we can blame it on being pregnant, I'm so pleased to finally have an excuse for the stupid things I so often say and do!!

I'm not going to measure my belly - 20cms of baby and probably another 20 of flabby wobbly bits that are masquerading as 'bump'!

I havent measured or had mine measured yet but I do know that my uterus is higher than most at this stage!!
