To eat or not to eat before bump measurement
Hey everyone! I know there’s a big debate around this because how the hell can they accurately measure a bump when you’re so bloated depending on the time of day 🤷🏼♀️ 🤣
Do you eat before or after your bump measurements? My appointment is 1pm so awkward time! Also will be first bump measurement if that makes a difference!

I was told it doesn’t make a difference as they are actually measuring your uterus hence why they measure from your pubic bone and feel for the baby
If you’re hungry before then definitely eat :) it won’t make a significant difference, and keeping yourself fuelled is definitely more important x

I don’t think it really matters, the bump measurement is really not accurate at all and such an old method. I measured on 55th centile the whole way through my pregnancy from when they started to measure bump but ended up giving birth to a small baby below the 5th centile, the scan was the only semi-accurate way of picking it up x
