Saw my midwife this morning, and she measured me ( from pubic bone to top of womb ) and couldn't believe that I was only 21 weeks........ she said that she would say going by the measurements that I was 25/26 weeks!!
She said that although the test wasn't very scientific, it was usually acurate.... she then measured me again another two times and said the same!!
She said I must have a big baby!!! ( Yikes ) as I am defo only 21+4 ( had 20 week scan last week ) and can't be 25/26 weeks as I had wedding, then AF, then honeymoon, then concieved!!!
My hubby was 10lb born ( and me 5lb ) so I hope they are not a big un!!! )Gulp!!! I am only just 5ft tall ( or short ) and size eitght with a huge bump already! Looks like little un....is a big un!!
Main thing everything was OK, and heartbeat was nice and strong....

i had the tiniest bump ever with ds1 and he was 8lb6oz - not massive i know, but i really didn't have a bump! (wsh i could say that i don't with this one - i just wobble everywhere now!)
i was measuring 4 weeks bigger with my last one and was told she would be a big baby but she only weighed 6lb 12oz at birth. so i would wait til you are over 30 weeks and see how things go then with the size you are measuring. good luck.xxxx
My friend was recently induced at 39 weeks due to measuring 48 weeks! They thought baby was going to be big and her ittle one was only 7lb12. It was because she carried so much water.
I like yourself am only little and with my last baby I got so big due to how much water I carried and ended up having my daughter early at 36 weeks and she weighed 7lb.

I measured big for my dates but over the weeks my bump seemed to even out and by the end I was only measuring about a week ahead. They are not always right about a big baby so try not to worry bout it too much. On a positve note, I have been told that bigger babies are easier to birth as their weight helps them down the birth canal...I have no experience of this as I had a c-section due to an abnormality in my pelvis.
Pen the theory of halving yours and your partners birth weight didn't work for me. Hubby was 5lb born and I was 7lb 1oz, and our baby weighed in at 9lb 1oz....and he was our first.....Im hoping the norm won't work for me again and the next one will be smaller otherwise its another section.....consultant said I can try for a normal delivery of next baby is bout 7lb, but was doubtful of it happening......you just never know x
