    Have you measured your belly?

    I just measured my belly the other day, for the fun of it - at about 38 weeks. I figured this is one time when I really don't care what the measuring tape says, so I might as well go for it! Over the fullest point, it's 42 inches, which is an increase of about 10 inches for me. (105cm, up 25cm, if my math is correct.) People generally say I don't look very big at all, but I think it's partly because I have a bigger frame and full bust (also about 42 inches), which makes the tummy look a little smaller in proportion.
    So what's your tummy at? Anyone feel like sharing?

    Gosh I'm glad I'm not the only one who did this LMAO. I measured my 'girth' at 39wks and it was 140cm (55inches). It's now back down to 90cm *phew*

    Hey,
    Just measured mine and it is 45 inches, or 115 cm. I think this is up about 20 cm from pre-preg size.

    you got me curious, so I just went looking for the tape measure and mine is 117cm... I think it was bigger, but since my belly has started dropping it has changed shape

    I am 38 weeks and just measured my bump which came to 111cm... I thought I was massive but don't seem to be that much bigger than some of the ladies in here. Great thread - would love to hear what sex your babies are - if you know... My babies gender is unkown until birth!
