I'm Currently Feeling:  | It's normal to be up to 3cm out. It can mean SO many things. Normally that you have alot of fluid.
My friend is 26 weeks and measuring 31cm! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | She had a bump from 10 weeks which I thought was quite strange. I assume it's a case of alot of fluid because her little guy was measuring just fine at her scan. They don't seem concerned atall. Maybe they'll investigate further if she stays that far ahead? No idea. Her bump is massive. She's giving me a run for my money.. 
I was measuring a week ahead a few times and my bump is small. Don't know how that works! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | It's not that much of a difference. I was measuring a month behind towards the end of my pregnancy and was told my baby would be small. He has a week and a half early and 8lb 7 so deffinatly not small & I had a normal amount of water too. I wouldn't worry at all. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | i agree, it's not a lot out - I woudlnt worry. i've only had the bump measured once, they dont seem to use it much here. Baby could have had its bum sticking out on purpose or something?!
I wouldnt worry. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | At 26 weeks I was measuring 28cm and at 30 weeks measuring 32cm. My midwife was slightly worried as I have been told I am having a small baby (approx 6lb) all the way through this pregnancy.
Went to hospital today and I am still measuring 32cm.
Consultant was happy with the measurement and said I probably had alot of fluid as baby is still small for dates but nothing to worry about as I have a history of small for gestation babies. (1st was 6lb 6oz, 2nd was 6lb 8oz and 3rd was 6lb 14oz) |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | They don't even tell me my measurements! Sounds normal though and really all babies do grow at different rates, so your LO could have just had a small growth spurt. |
