Measuring of bump

@Chloe it’s so weird isn’t it? Maybe they will do it at the next one 🤣x
@Natalie Yeah very! Cause I was intrigued how much he had grown since my 20 week scan 😂 x
With my first they were really irregular with this! I’m 23 weeks and haven’t been measured once x
I have my 28 week apt this week and midwife said this will be the first time she will measure me so think it’s just at the next one x
At 28 week appointment they will measure in the UK
It depends on your trust. It’s typically from 28 weeks, but our hospital trust have new guidance to measure from 24.
@Chloe me too🙄🤣x
I didn’t have a 25wk one but have my 28wk tomorrow so will let you know if they measure bump
Thankyou everyone x
I think it depends per hospital. Pretty sure at my 16 week appointment the midwife said they’d start to measure at 28 weeks xx
I think they measure from 28 but if you have growth scans then they don’t measure you with midwife
They measure bump from 28 weeks.
Had my 25 week appointment other week, finally heard baby’s heart beat and she told me my next appointment which is my 28 week appointment will be where she starts measuring bump, so I’m guessing it’s a usual thing over here anyways
They don’t usually do this until 28 weeks xx

Mine measured me at my 26-week appointment and listened to heartbeat
I had 25 week one recently my midwife said the same she won’t measure this time but had a feel of my belly and things then she said she’ll measure at the end of the month when I’m 28 weeks
I had mine today and they didn’t measure my bump either. Was confused 🫤 she felt my tummy, but that’s it. Maybe it will be at the 28wk appointment 😊
I was wondering this as I had mine on Friday at 25 weeks and she just did the exact same as what you experienced x
