Mine was measuring 22cm at 23+5 and my mw didnt seem concerned but im now a bit worried and dont want to have to wait 4wks until my next measurment! :/

I was told as long as its within 2 cm of the amount of weeks you're it's fine. So 1.5 isn't bad. I measured 18.5 at my 20 week appointment and measured 23 at my 24 week appointment.

Ive heard 2-4 cm being out can be okay. As you could have a slight tilt to your uterus, or the doctor may not be feeling exactly the right spot.. So I wouldn't worry!

As ppl have mentioned 2-4cm each way is the rule xxx

Do i have the right to ask for an ultrasound just to make sure all is well? I just dont want to seem like an irritating mother to be but i would rather have my LO checked and have peace of mind!

I honestly don't think they will give you one as there isn't a problem huni. Your measuring within the correct guidelines. If you was smaller or even 2-4cm bigger they would then offer you a scan. But at this point there is nothing to scan for as like I said your measurement is fine. Maybe call them for piece of mind so they can explain. Might reasure you more coming from a professional instead of a bunch of women on a forum sweet pea xxxx

Thanks Maidenet, i would call them but they never answer and i dont want to call the emergency delivery suite (even though they tell me too) because i feel like i will just annoy them its such a stupid situation!
