@Vee 28 weeks tomorrow x
@Zara apparently it’s according to your weeks . 2cm smaller and 2cm bigger I was told by my midwife . But body size matters too . If your midwife is happy with your size then you shouldn’t worry
@Vee aww okay, yeah I’m petite, I’ve alwats been a size 6. I’ve okay gained weight on my lower body and my belly obviously due to baby, but I still have skinny arms and what not. Also I’m 4”11, my mum said the same thing. That I’m not big myself so I’ll be alright 🥲
I was measuring 26cm at my 25 week appointment 😊
@Tarryn yeah I’m measuring 28cm so all good ☺️ xx
I measured 26.5cm on Monday at 28+1weeks. Baby is measuring on the smaller side though, and my first was born on the 4th percentile. The midwife will let you know if the measurements aren't within the expected limits
@Chelsey what happens if baby is on smaller side?
@Zara this time I have to have growth scans every few weeks to check on baby. With my first we didn't know baby was on the smaller side so everything was done like normal, and no additional scans. It all depends on how small/big baby is measuring though
@Chelsey thank you so much! I do have a growth scan on the 12th May, I’ll be 32+6 by then so hopefully everything’s fine x
Take those measurements with a *big* pinch of salt! They don’t really account for different body types and sizes! As a tall (6’1) plus size girlie, I was measuring 30cm at 24 weeks. It triggered a scan and all measurements from the scan came back perfect.
I had mine yesterday at 28+3 and was measuring at 26.3cm (between 10th & 3rd centile) but midwife said that she’s not concerned as It’s within the 2 cm each side. Also noting that I am 5ft 2 so super short so could be part of it- plus measurements are super inaccurate. X
How many weeks are you
