Waist Measurements at Nth week pregnant

[marchbridetobe]

Hi mga sis! Though alam ko na iba't iba naman ang cases ng changes during pregnancy nating mga mommies, curious lang ako kung within normal ang paglaki ng belly size ko compared sa iba  I'm on my 31st week and yung biggest part ng belly ko currently measures 34 inches, minsan 35 pag busog. Petite lang ako, 5" flat ang height ko and this is my 2nd pregnancy already, though 8 years ago pa yung last. Pre-pregnancy waistline ko is 23 inches kaya bigat na bigat na ko and hirap na din kumilos.

Hi sis congrats on your pregnancy. Waist measurement itself is not a good measure of pregnancy progression, kasi pag circumferential ang measurement mas maraming factors na pwedeng maka affect like back fat deposits, or even love handles, etc. mas better if you measure your fundal height, which is sa may pubic area up to the highest point of your uterus (you have to palpate a little, usually this is in between the stomach and yung gitna ng lower ribs mo which is the xiphoid process). In cm, ideally, your age of gestation in weeks should coincide with the measurement of your fundal height. so kung 31 weeks ka na, more or less 31cm din ang fundal height mo
