confused.

Okay so I'm 26w today. Measuring at 2week's ahead. Which is fine. This is my second pregnancy - but feel and look (when comparing pictures from my first pregnancy to this one) bigger! My dad had to adjust my steering wheel as was already touching the bump. How is it possible that I'm bigger now at 26w with my son than what I was at 42week's with my daughter a few years ago? Yet still be measuring "right" ..confused!

You grow faster with your aecond pregnancy bc your uterus is already stretched out and I really think all the measuring is estimated. I think they push you further along than you are most of the time with my first one I always measured two weeks ahead but I was induced a week and a half after my due date. I am only 11 weeks this time but I am showing like I am 6 monthes!!

That makes sense :-) and it probably it estimated no two midwives measure you at the same point. I've never been ahead so thats New to me. But just don't get how I can be on the right week but at the same time - bigger. Congratulations on your pregnancy :-)
