Don't worry. Please take my advice. During my whole third trimester, my measurements got smaller rather than larger. My OB/GYN had me so worried and stressed telling me about the chances of something being wrong and my baby being underweight. I worried and had to get way more ultrasounds and fetal non-stress tests, it ruined one of the happiest and most exciting times of my pregnancy. My son was born 8 pounds and totally healthy. I guess I just didn't fit into the norm on that. So I say don't worry even though I know its hard not to.

You should have been told that at 25 weeks you should measure 25cm (1cm for every week), they should have also told you that it is ok to be within 1cm either side. It doesn't really mean anything when you measure 1cm more next week you might measure as you should. You only need to be worried if you measure a lot less than you should and you have IUGR. ; Don't worry about this as it is quite common for women to not measure exactly as they should.

The cm's correspond with the weeks. For example I measured 22cm last week when I was 22 weeks. You are only 1 cm off, it means nothing.

well ....
you could be slightly further along,
baby could be slightly bigger than average or
the position baby is in can influence the measurement.
both of mine measured a little bigger but were average born sizes of 9pds and 8.2pds and born just over due dates.
take the cm measurements with a grain of salt and don't dwell on it. Baby will be as big as it grows and come when it is ready.
Best of luck

Babies have growth spurts. I was always measuring larger than what is "normal." Turns out my son was a big 9 lb. baby!

I suggest you consult a physician to find the meaning.

don't tweak over two centimeters. you're fine, and your baby's fine.
