I've read all over the internet that at 24 weeks your uterus should be 1 inch - 2 inches above the 'navel' and my uterus is definitely way above that! (It's right under the ribcage; I've even seen my little one kicking from the outside there!) Doctor measured me 2 weeks ago and thinks I am probably farther along than what we've been going off of and will schedule for another ultrasound soon to check. Just want some opinions on this! :) I've had 3 U/S already! 2 due dates so far...

I had this problem with my daughter. I was consistently measuring 7cm too big and i was sent for another scan. It turned out that I had a low lying placenta and the baby was lying sideways at the top half of my uterus being stubborn by refusing to move down at all. She did get in the correct position in time for the birth though and the placenta had grown further away from my cervix by then to so I was able to have a natural birth. Trying to breath normally towards the end of the pregnancy was hilarious! I don't know how people manage with multiple births.
It can mean that you have a lot of amniotic fluid.

After 20 weeks a rule of thumb is, your uterus is about as many centimeters tall as you are weeks pregnant. So get a tape measure and measure from your pelvic area to the top of your uterus and that might give you an indication. It's not a substitute for a good u/s though. Good luck in your pregnancy!

K first, you are probably bloated! Second, i hadn't gained 5 pounds till at least 12 weeks! Wen you are pregnant you really only need an extra 300-400 calories a day! Be careful!

i gave birth at 33weeks doctors still don't know if he was really that early or just extemly healthy!
only your baby will know, scans might help but are just educated guesses, you might be carrying a big baby or be like me rather small and thin and it looks bigger at 17weeks i had a big bump and my 30weeks i was extermly huge, looked pregnant with twins my son was only 4lb 5.2oz when born and was 7weeks premmie

I had about 6 different due dates before they settled on one. And even then she did not arrive on her due date.

You could be further on than you think, or it could be a big baby or- it's possible it could be Twins! I would just wait and see what your scan reveals and try not to worry and enjoy! :-)

You might be mutating.
