When they measure height they go by cm, and they measure from top of pelvic bone to top of uterus while laying on your back. You should be right around 25 cm in length. They do it at .Dr every time you go?? Do you remember what they said it was?

More than likely....Nothing--

just might have a little bigger baby, or your uterus may just be bigger than most. I might have a tendance to worry if it were a .L.O.T smaller, but a little bigger-- naw. Could there possible be 2? And this is not a perfect science--it just usually comes out like that. Cm=weeks.

And you may be a little farther along than they thought--or you thought too!! U/sounds are not perfect either, it is just a guideline.
