how many of u get measured?
Hello all my bumps not been measured at any mw appt yet, got my 28wk appt this week, and was wandering if i shud ask,? im not really worried but keep reading that ever1 else gets measured? can they really tell anything from meauring u??
A girl i know says she needs a growth scan as her baby measurements have gone down by 3cms, shes 6days ahead of me almost 29wks, but i wudnt kno if mine had grown or shrunk??
Another friend of mine had her baby 3weeks early (about a week ago) she also rarely got meaured or she may have just the last few weeks? Just interested wot all u ladies have had thanks xxxxxxxxxxx

When they measure you they measure the length of the uterus so they can see tell how well your baby is growing. They say that its ok if your 2cm over or under and if they are you get a growth scan I think. I was about 2cm behind when I first got measured and last time I was near enough spot on. You can't tell by looking how much you measure though because everyone keeps saying my bump is small but the mw says it measures fine.
Maybe just ask your mw if she doesn't measure you this week but I don't think they're too much to worry about.

Anyway I said the 1st time I got measured I was 28wks so you might both get measured then.
P.S I was measuring 2 weeks ahead at 24 weeks but since then have only been a week ahead!
I would ask if you don't get measured this time

Before 30 weeks, she had a bit of a feel and as long as the top of my uterus looked like it was in the right place she wasn't worried.
