I'm Currently Feeling:  | Belly measurment
So my DD#1 who will be 12 in a week or so came to my Dr. appointment yesterday with me. (She comes to all the appointments  ) Anyway, she watched doc measure my fundal height. It must have sat with her all day because last night as we were getting ready for bed she asked me how big my belly was. I told her about fundal height and how the top of the uterus corresponds with the weeks pregnant etc. etc.  She goes all wonky in the eyes and says "No... how big AROUND is your belly?"
I was scared to look.
46" at 31.5 weeks. 
Does anyone else keep track of their bump size? |

| I do! I like things like this (i'm a scientist so i guess it is in my nature!). I'm 32 weeks and my belly is 41". It goes up about half an inch a week. I think my waist was about 28" before i got pregnant, so that's a whole lot of baby! My bump is quite compact and out front, so i think it is mostly the baby lying in a funny position making my belly so big (rather than the chocolate i ate over easter...) | | | | Status: Offline
