Hi hun. When i saw the mw on wednesday at 21+1 she listened to the heartbeat about 1 inch above my belly button, and also felt it up about that height aswell. this link shows the height at diff gestations.
But everyone is diff and it can differ i think hun. My lmp makes me due 16th feb, but my scan at 14 weeks made me 14+6, so i have been given edd of 10th feb. I know it cant be right cuz i know for sure when my last af was but my fundal height matches my dates. So i am worried i am having a huge baby to. I am being induced at 37-38 weeks tho so its not so bad.

3boys(lianne) mine is roughly the same hun i am 21+5 now but then again from my scan on monday her legs were longer than average and her belly was too and weighs 2oz more than the average for her age (my dpp was 10llb 14oz) so i wouldnt worry hun plus well its a subsequent pregnancy hunni so the uterus is already streached too so you are larger and fundal height is greater too.. i wouldnt worry see what the measurements are on the scan... i hve mine too if your curious after yours! I am sure all is fin though hun we notice more the more times we are pregnant!! (i will also let you know sex too from next scan and her size too

Hun just wanted to say mine is about the same as that, I had my scan last week and all the measurements were spot on for 20 weeks and they didn't mention it was a big baby for me so don't worry! x

I am 20+3 and this morning while laying in bed, I could feel my uterus. It was nowhere near my belly button, about 3-4cm higher. I have my scan tomorrow, but am now worrying that this is going to be a really big baby. Has anyone else been in this situation before?







No need to worry. I am way above belly button. On my private 20 week scan the babies head was about an inch and a half avoce belly button with legs down by my bladder. My baby weighed 10oz 2 weeks ago!
I am also measuring more that 2cm i should be.
