    Had my bi-weekly OB appt today and my belly measured a shocking 36w. I'll be 28w tomorrow. [​IMG] My doctor told me that my uterus doesn't recognize that there are 2 babies in there and so I might start to feel BH contrax more often now that I'm measuring full term.

    What was your fundal height when you entered the 3rd trimester? Can my belly physically get any bigger??? I had to do my 1 hour glucose test as well, so I checked out the bellies in the waiting room while I waited for my blood draw. I was *huge* in comparison to 2 other ladies there to do their 28w glucose test! I know, there are 2 babies in me... but still, man - I've got the belly of a full termer!

    At 28.5 weeks I measured 36 cm as well! At my last appointment (30.5 wks.) I measured 40 cm! I've been having BH all along, but they do seem to be getting more numerous and intense (no changes to my cervix when last checked).

    At 28 weeks I measured close to 40 weeks. I think it depends on who measures you everyone who measures me seems to get something different. My doctor just measured me at 30.5 weeks and I measured 43 cm. I just keep getting bigger. The babies only have ever measured a week ahead, so I also think it has to do alot with your build, I am kind of short. It is amazing how much our bodies will stretch! Just like Melissa I have been having BH the whole time but I was in the hospital for contractions at 28 weeks but no cervical changes.

    I think i was 34 weeks at 28 weeks, did that make sense? I am 33 weeks now and measuring 38 weeks. I feel like 55weeks. I think I might explode!!!!

    At 27 weeks I was measuring 39 weeks...I never got measured again but I think my body just thought I was done! Even with my singletons I never measured bigger than 36 weeks bc they were both born at 36 weeks..

    At 28 weeks, I measured 39. I just had my 30 week check yesterday and I measured 41. I have been having BH...forever. But they are starting to get more predictable, every 10-15 minutes and now I am having 2 hour runs of BH every 5 minutes. My doctor is aware, but is not as concerned as I am. He said as the uterus stretches to the max, it becomes irritable. Therefore you get more frequent BH. He says drink plenty of water and rest as much as possible.
