uterus measurement - small??

cicon · 02-17-2005, 03:49 PM

I'm 26wks 5 days and the Dr. measured my belly today as 25wks. The baby, however, is in the 80th percentile for weight (2 lbs 4oz). A lot of people comment on how small I look - - I am small in general, have gained 16 lbs and now weight 134. Does anyone think it is significant that my belly is a week and a half behind? Thankfully, the baby is a good size. Does anyone know how to do this measurement at home so I can try to stay on top of my growth? (The dr. did it quickly w/a tape and I wasn't sure where so started the tape and stopped it.)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Cynthia

Cynthia,
Some women are small and pg- not me - I was the huge and pg. At 4-5 months along people would ask me if I was due soon- uhgggg-
As long as the baby is doing well and your OB is not concerned, I wouldn't be. All women carry pgs differently.

You are probably one of those lucky women who wear those cute maternity clothes and look so cute- me I was the blimp!
Enjoy!
