How many weeks are you and what is the circumfrance of your bump?

[LittleSpy]

Are you sure they aren't measuring fundal height like the midwife does, that is the normal way to measure bumps

Yeah, I don't think anyone's circumference is measuring 36 centimeters. Pretty much no one has a waist measurements that small when they're *not* pregnant. You know, because 36cm is like 14 inches.

But to answer your question, I'm 36+4 and my waist measurement at my belly button is 44 inches.

I also constantly get "I didn't know you were pregnant" comments. I just got one yesterday and another today. Trust when I say I'm VERY OBVIOUSLY pregnant. Actually here, you don't have to trust me, just look:

My fundal height is right on track at 36cm.

My bump measures 43 inches (32 weeks). But I am really petite, hardly any fat around me (started off as a size uk 6). All the pregnancy weight has gone on my bottom

I was just wandering how many weeks you are and what the circumfrance of your bump is around your belly button in inches? So you get the tape measure and you put it round your bump width ways across your belly button...I am huge. I have 2 friends who are due the same date as me (which is the 1st August) and both are measuring at 37cm and 38cm - I am 34 weeks and 2 days gone now and measuring 46 INCHES!

What's your bump measurement? I'm hoping there are some people who will reply with the same due date around mine and put my mind at rest I am not carrying a massive baby?

Dont worry! Everyone is different, it depends what you were to start with aswell i guess. My waist was 22-23 in before, its now 33.5 in and i'm 29+3, ive got excess fluid too which is making me look much further on. Aslong as your scans have showed baby growing well, don't panic.

I'm 40 inches and 32 weeks - my fundal measurement is 32 weeks. Everyone comments on how ' small ' my bump is but I dont feel small !! Think because I started at 8 and a half stone and I'm now nearly 11 ! None of my weight has gone on my arms face so think thats all people look at, its all on my bump, legs and boobs !

leanne h 89 - yeah that makes a lot of sense as there are some big ranges on this thread ! But it is interesting to see. I'm the same as lilly77 - although \i wouldnt say I was tall, people do comment on how ' small ' I look but Ireally dont think it is small, my mw said Im very neat and compact so its probably not the biggest but then everyone is different and I think I must carry weight well as I feel massive !!
x or people are just being polite he he

I'm 29 weeks and 50 inches.

But I was a UK siize 14/16 before, so I'd imagine that's why. My fundal height is 31cm, so I suppose I am a little bit bigger than I should be.

People comment ALL THE TIME though. When I tell them I am due in September they look at me strangely ha ha.

 

[Peachy724]

I get plenty of the comments, really people should keep them to themselfs, if i looked at a pregnant woman i certainly couldnt tell you how far on she was by how her belly was. Everyones got an opinion but personally i wish they would keep quiet. I am smaller than a size 6 usually and all the weight has gone on my bump as i eat exactly the same as before but if i was say a size 10 would my bump look so big? I really have to try upload a picture cause i would love you ladies opinons xxxx

35 inches and i am 36 weeks and 4 days. In fact i got told off by the lady in Holland & Barret for buying Raspberry Leaf Tea today as it shouldn't be taken before 32 weeks. She didnt even believe me when i said i was 37 weeks on tuesday i had to show her my maternity card! I hate being told how small i look like there is something wrong when i know i measure spot on grr!

 

[sweetpea01]

44 inches at almost 33 weeks. I started out at a size 16/18 so I am not a tiny girl or anything. I don't know my fundal since I have moved and going to a new doc next week.

 

[stephies]

i am 32-34 inches (depends how much i need to wee/have eaten) at nearly 30 weeks.. im also pretty tall so i just have no bump atall.. i like a lot of the others with little circumfrances started off pretty small tho.. i think my waist measurement was 21-24 inches.. people have only just started really believing im pregnant when i show them my tummy lol this last week or 2, but noone is just guessing yet.. also whoever said noone had a 36 inch waist? .. .. 36 inch waist pre preg isnt small atall.. ive never had above a 28 inch waist non preg.. and yeh my waist is definately 32 inches still most of the time and im pretty much 7 months preg.. so yes.. people clearly do ACTUALLY have waists that small.. not sure what universe you live in.. :S

 

[stephies]

oh i reread.. 36 cm.. ha sorry misread.. however i have also had a 36cm waist before .. the smallest my waist has been ever was 12 inches.. buttttt i was very ill, nearly dying and certainly not pregnant i take back my comment previously sleepy headed!
