meaurements???

[benjis mum]

Just wondering where does the midwife measure when measuring bump? Is it top if bump to pubic bone or across tummy? Obviously I was measured with Ben but can't remember how it was done!

Thanks

mmmmm just did a measurement (I know I probably should just leave it to the experts but......) and i measured 34cm, i'm only 27 weeks!!!! That doesn't sound right does it??

 

[eldraW]

no it doesnt but they do it from the top of the utrerus? I know i am measuring big but thats coz i have GD xx I would leave it to the experts hun x

 

[benjis mum]

Not seeing midwife for another 10 days or so and everyone keeps saying how big I am so was just intrigued. How was your GD diagnosed? Did you feel different or was it just through a blood test?

 

[eldraW]

It was through a blood test hun.. I honestly didnt know i had it at all, tbh i never thought anything of th test xx

 

[benjis mum]

Several people have commented how big I am and asked if I've been tested. I'm sure my midwife said she would be doing more bloods at my next appointment so I guess she'll say if she thinks there is a problem.

 

[eldraW]

Yeah if you have concerns i would defo speak to your mw hun xx

Top of bump is where bump meets top abdominal muscles under breasts down to pubic bone

Speak to your midwife hunny, at 38 weeks my bump was measuring 46cms, they sent me for a growth scan to check my levels of waters. Let us know how you get on x x

The midwife had a good feel of my belly before she measured so i think its to find where the top is.. but im abig lass so maybe trying to fight with my flab lmao! It can just be a lot of water if your big i wouldn't worry just ask the midwife if she thinks your big. Some people say mine is big some say small but im measuring two weeks ahead so :S x
