Bump measurement

Has anyone else’s bump grown a lot? At 28 weeks I was measuring 29cm now at 31 I’m measuring 34cm. Midwife wasn’t concerned as growth scan was ok on Friday but I’m wondering if it’s normal

Yeh mine was similar... Think I was 27cm then jumped to 33cm! I got sent for a growth scan and he's 90th percentile but they're not concerned at all.

Mine was "too small" at one appointment and then "too big" at the next appointment. Both scans showed baby is totally normal 40th percentile. Think bump measures differently depending on how baby is lying that day!

At my 28 weeks app I was measuring 31+1 totally fine! With my first pregnancy my 32 week app I was measuring 41 weeks! They sent me in next day for growth scan and baby was fine and not massive just my measurement x

The fundal height measurement is so inaccurate and should be taken with a pinch of salt. It’s just indicative. They only really concerned if it drops before 10th centile or about 90th centile. If there is a concern you’d get referred for a scan and usually these show everything to be fine as they are more accurate at measuring baby, though again still not 100%.
