Yes your littlemamabear I went to doctor yesterday and I'm 26 weeks and measure 28 weeks. My baby is a little big but I think just long in length. My husband is 6'3. But your baby could just be one the smaller side.

It's the distance between your pubic bone and the top of your uterus. It's measured to get an idea of your baby's growth.
