Q: Measuring Help Pls*

Active User, very eHealthy

Hey does anyone have any books handy right now or just know? I normally always have a big stack of pregnancy books at my desk at work but I left em home today! Anyhow, im wondering, how many inches do people ‘normally’ measure on average at this time in pregnancy? Im 35 weeks tomorrow. Im just curious because I swear I could feel it just under my rib and im wondering if my uterus is already all the way up there at this time. Im just wondering an average because my doctor told me im measuring normally and average* thanks!~!

Measuring from the bellybutton, it is now about 6 inches (15cm) to the top of the uterus. Measuring from the pubic symphysis, the distance is about 14 inches (35cm).
