I am 23 weeks 2 days and my belly measures 38 inches! I couldn't believe it whenever I took the measurements! That means that I have gained 10 inches around the waist. Wow, I need to start working out.

.yes. the fundus height is measured from your pubic bone to the top of your uterus.

I don't know my measurements but the nurse measured me last week and guessed from the measurements that I was almost 28 weeks. We had never met and she didn't review my file. She was right on. I am right where I am supposed to be according to the measurement. She said she has been a nurse for 30 years and really doesn't go too much on the tape measure because they are often not consistent. With me, it was:)

In the weight department, I had gained 35 pounds at only 28 weeks. It's all in my butt, thighs and boobs!!! I actually have a few new stretch "beauty" marks on my thighs and boobs. That's where all the cheese I have been eating went!! My belly seems to be all baby and a pinch or two of flab.

I will send pics of my belly in a day or two.
