    Thanks PP, that just made me feel so much better! At my 24 wk visit which i was actually 23wks and 3 days i was 23.... spot on i would say!
    I just looked in my pregnancy journal book and the stupid DR didn't even write down any of my details for the visit, at least i know everything else was fine because i asked.

    Once I get to about 25 weeks I always messure about 3 or 4 cm behind.
    None of my babies have been tiny, 7lb8, 8lb3 & 8lb 4.
    this one I am messuring 3 weeks behind but ont he growth scan I had at 32 weeks the baby was off the scale big for most the messurements.
    Even the midwife laughed that I messure small but obvisouly have abig bub in there.

    Don't take this the wrong way FJ but your belly looks huge compared to mine...yes i know i have a fair few weeks to catch up to you yet.....but your belly looks gorgeous....i am so jealous. I have this tiny compact bump happening, i'm not a big person, size 12 when i fell pregnant and i haven't put on much weight at all either, i think a total of 4-5 kg so far....maybe i just have a good sized cavity or something for my baby to fit into before i start to grow outwards!

    Don't worry Danni, both my kids I had a small belly and then towards the end it got big. Remember that bub is aboug 2kg at...whenever, maybe at the start of the 3rd trimester, and so they about double their weight from then til their birth. Plenty of time to pop.

    Another thing is, if you're taller, then there's more room upways and not yet the need to stretch outwards. Or bub could just be nestled a bit further back. Or you've got good abdominal muscles. Plenty of reasons you might not have a huge belly yet.

    Haha, wise man. All partners of a pregnant woman need to do is keep their mouth shut (apart from genuine compliments) and bring drinks, food and rubs.

    Love the pics FJ...totally gorgeous! Looks as though you get bigger each time, the boys you were quite small and then Isla and this one are kinda similar from what i could see. I absolutely love the name Isla, i actually asked DP about that name a couple of month ago but it was a no go with him but who knows, we could be having another boy yet!
    Yes Nelle..men are wise when they need to be. DP has been totally great....i love being pregnant and just after the birth as he treats me like a queen!
