How high is your uterus measuring?

[Violet_]

Well, thought I'd post this question. You see, I meant to be coming up to 12 weeks pregnant and when I lay on my back I can feel my uterus 3cms above my pubic bone. It's halfway between my pubic bone and belly button. I think that means I'm measuring more like 15 weeks. As this is my fourth baby, I know what I'm feeling as midwives showed me how to check the height of my uterus at the many appointments I've had with previous babies. I'll bring it up with the midwives when I have an appointment in two weeks time. Just wondering if those that have had or are having multiples have experienced this? I haven't had any ultrasounds as yet. If the midwives think I'm measuring larger then usual at my next appointment I think I'll consent to an ultrasound if they recommend one.

At 17 weeks and 3 days I was measuring 20 weeks. But I'm having twins, so that makes sense. However, I will add that with my last child, I measured 3-4 weeks ahead for a long time. Eventually it evened itself out.

I was also measuring ahead a few weeks with my last son.... Can't wait for the update tho! Good luck...

Sorry, I can't seem to rotate the pic.

Not sure what you looked like pre-pregnancy but you do look like you have quite the cute bump for 11.5 weeks!! Do you feel bigger than you were with your other single PG? Did you use clomid?

Not really sure. I look pregnant. I was carrying a bit of weight pre pregnancy. Usually any weight I'm carrying on my waist tends to stick out a bit further, kind of looking a little more fat when I'm pregnant. As you can see though, I'm not exceptionally thin, I'm carrying extra weight on my upper arms, bum, thighs etc. So guess I'm in proportion. Everything tends to push up when I'm pregnant, making my upper tummy stick out more. But my uterus isn't that high to account for all that tummy. Probably only measuring up to the base of my navy tshirt. I didn't use clomid but did use vitex. There are also a big number of multiples in my family. But perhaps I'm just hopeful. I guess time will tell?

Mines around half way between my belly button and pubic bone at 17 weeks....i think it was still under my pubic bone at 12 weeks

Yes Nearly Done, that's about what I'm measuring. With my other single pregnancies, I wasn't measuring big. I was right on track. At this stage in pregnancy, coming up to 12 weeks, my uterus was just coming up over my pubic bone. I will talk to midwives about it when I go to my next appointment.

You do have a nice bump going on I would be suspicious that there may be two or three (lol just joking) the two week wait till ur appt is going to be agonizing :s
