Belly Measurements!

hey ladies! just got back from the doc, I am betweeen 26 and 27 weeks and my belly is measuring between 33 and 34. Is this normal? What are or we're your measurments?

 

Sounds it. I was measuring 18w at 14w.

 

Unlike with singleton pregnancies, belly measurements with multiples aren't really useful for anything other than making you feel gigantic.

 

I went to the doctor at the government hospital after already having had an ultrasound and I already knew I was having twins. I decided not to say anything to him about that. I guess I was about 9 weeks along at that point. And the doctor measured fundal height and said to me--either your dates are wrong or you have more than one in there.

 

Lol I did that recently with the nutritionist! it was hilarious! I walked in with this huge belly and told her my due date wasn't until 2 months down the raod and that I've already gained 30 lbs. Ha ha she was trying not to offend me as she basically stated I needed to slow down on eating and was giving me a structured diet to prevent preeclampsia and diabetes. I finally told her and boy was she relieved.

 

Yup sounds normal I know at my last appt at 33wks I was measuring 42wks

 

My peri never even measured my fundal height. They did not do that with multiples.

 

Sounds normal. At my last apt at 32+5 weeks I measured 43 cm.

 

I just remember breaking about 40-42 around the 30+ wk mark! :lol:

 

I was 37 cm at 32 weeks, but getting bigger faster now -- even though its hard to eat.

 

I don't have the cm measurement, but at my 26 week appt today the doctor told me I was measuring 31 weeks.

 

Haha! I'm glad I wasn't the only one that did this! I was huge! My doc had told me I think to gain 30 lbs .... As I was inching closer and closer to that mark ( at the halfway point too) I asked him about it, he said I'd be waving at that number as I flew by it! And that I did! :lol:

 

The further I get along I've noticed it's getting increasingly harder to eat. I take a couple botes and then I'm full! Its not fun

 

When I had the girls at 30 weeks I was measuring full-term for a singleton. I wonder if my body was confused by that?

And, YES! Eating got more and more difficult as I got larger. I had to start grazing throughout the day to keep my hunger at bay.

 

FWIW I'm up to 34cm at 28 weeks. My husband and I like to call it my "mega-belly." :lol:

 

Today's measurements at the doc was 40 weeks and I'm 32 weeks along! It's getting soo uncomfortable sleeping now even in my recliner!!

 

Lol I'm so miserable! Can't wait for these babies to finally come I can barely eat, sleep, walk,and its even uncomfortable to sit haha. I'm measuring 45 weeks and I'm 36 weeks along almost 37. so excited but miserable!!

 

When I had the babies at 37 weeks, I was measuring 53 (14 pounds of baby will apparently do that to you!)

 

When I got the epidural, I remember telling everyone in the OR that it was the first time in months I hadn't been in pain. Honestly, c-section recovery was glorious compared to carrying twins at the end! So I guess there's a bright side?

 

Wow I'm glad to hear that! I'm soo ready!

 

Well ots the night before my scheduled csection and I'm measuring 48 lol! I can't believe it but I'm soo happy and anxious!

 

We're so happy for you! I cannot wait to see your birth announcement and some pictures!
