Had my 16w appt today... one question for you

[beanlee]

Im 16w 4d and my appt went great! Love when the doc says all looks perfect...My weight, blood pressure, babys heart rate :)
She mentioned that my tummy looked a little bigger than what she thought it would be. She verified my due date, said soon enough my tummy will even out and be round all together and said it could be because i am shorter/have small torso.
I know if there was a big concern she would have mentioned additional tests or something but just curious if any of you were told this... or if im focusing on this statement too much??
Side note... only 3 weeks until my anatomy scan!!!! :) :)

Yayy to being 5'4!! :) She said it just by looking at me! But yes i believe so. She touched below belly button where 'typically' 16w is and said i was just a bit bigger/higher. To be honest, she didn't tell me exact info or even use the term fundal height! I should have asked more but at the time all i wanted her to do was stick that doppler on my belly so i could hear heart beat!

lol woah! i'm 5'4 too! i wonder if i'm "measuring big" as well.
did doc go by your fundal height????? jw. cuz i keep telling hubby my fundus is waaaaay too high for 19 weeks lol

Thank you! There's only one growing in there :) Im 5'4 as well! Can't wait to see baby in 3 weeks... My last ultra sound was at 9 w!! Im curious to know/see size now :)

But, im also 5'8" & my torso is pretty long.

I got told that at 16 weeks with first pregnancy she said i measured at 26 weeks. They moved up my ultrasound & discovered i was having two. I thought it was so strange cuz i already had a ultrasound & they didnt see  2 when i was only 6 wks. They said cuz they were identical cell may not have split yet. Crazy.

Yup! I was told this too! My doctor told me I was measuring bigger than usual. I am 5'4" and she said It could've been from me bein' short or that I'm having two that they didn't know about (this was also before my first u/s)... turns out It was one big healthy baby!  It's nothin' you need to worry about. =] Like you said, If It was somethin' big, she would've mentioned It.
