    My Glucose and iron were both borderline... I dont have to redo the tests until 28 weeks, but i still have to be careful! I am measuring smaller than i was 2 weeks ago.. is that normal? from 27 to 25? The babies feel bigger and my tummy is much bigger from the picture that i took... It was a different person both appointments, so maybe they had a different feel for it?? Anyhow back to the same dr in two weeks!!

    I would not worry about fundal measurements I think they tend to be inacurate with a twin pregnancy. At my ob's office they always send in an intern to do my fundal measurement and check heartbeats before the doctor comes in. I don't think they have ever gotten the same measurement. One time when I was 30 weeks the girl measured me at 44 cm!! As long as the babies are growing you're fine
     
  3. Nobody measures tummies the same as the next time. If it's the same person, even that's not that reliable. It can be such a judgement call.

    Glad to hear the levels are ok.

    I too wouldn't worry about the measurement, it can definitely vary by person doing the measurement and also placement of the tape and the most important placement of the babies!

    I agree on the fundal measurements... my doctors didn't even do them with me when I was pg with the twins... there just isn't much point other than curiosity... it's just not a reliable indicator that the babies are growing when there are two.... plus you may have "dropped" a bit and that can change measurements...
