FYI- stomach measuring
Yeah- I don't know if I'm an idiot, but I will gladly assume some of you didn't know this either.
My doctor does measure my stomach- sternem length- from crotch to boobs.
He keeps saying "measuring fine", which makes me feel less gigantic.
Well- he's not measuring the size of your stomach.
He's measuring the distance to the top of your uterus.
Turns out, my belly is large. 
BUT- I get a sono at 37 weeks

Re: FYI- stomach measuring
I am not!
It's big. BIG.
OK- I just looked at the preg models at baby-gaga, and they are mostly as big as me. I feel like a house, though.
A big brainy house.

Re: FYI- stomach measuring
My midwife has been measuring me since my 16w appointment. She said the centimeters should equal what week you are in.
My last visit I was 18 weeks and 18cm. Dunno how she figures that out, but whatever. As long as I'm "normal" I could give a rats booot-ay!
