Usually they don't start measuring your belly till around 20 weeks

when did your MW start measuring your belly @okCindy_ ?
I had an OB with my first 5 yrs ago and he was measuring my uterus from pelvic bone to top of uterus at every apt starting very early.
I've gone to my MW since I was about 8wks now (1x a month) and I'm 19wks and she's never measured at all??
All she does is ask questions, go over test results and check the h/b.

I read that too fast. I'll be 36 weeks actually but on my 34 week check up. She did the usual measure the belly, hear the heart beat stuff.
