"Measuring 29 weeks" implies that the patient measures 29 centimeters, or roughly 9 centimeters above the umbilicus (belly button). Measurements can be off by a few centimeters without any cause for concern--2 cm off would not prompt most physicians to change any treatment plan. The concern becomes if the patient is measuring a large number off; this can mean the baby is either very large or very small (depending if the number is higher or lower than expected), which could prompt the physician to order an ultrasound to give a better estimate of how large the baby is. Where I practice, most insurance companies will not pay for an ultrasound with the diagnosis of LGA (large for gestational age, meaning a much larger measurement than expected) unless the patient is measuring at least three centimeters more than expected.
The measurement also needs to be considered in the context of the whole patient; if the patient's Diabetes screen was negative (diabetes can lead to larger babies) and there are no other concerns during the pregnancy, an isolated measurement that is somewhat more than expected doesn't mean as much as it would in a higher risk pregnancy.
Also keep in mind that measuring is somewhat user-dependent; not all physicians measure the same way, so what is 29 weeks to one may be 27 to another.

Don't forget of course that 29 weeks pregnant is actually 27 weeks from conception.
The measurement is made from the top of the pubic bone (more or less the bikini line) to the top of the uterus, and is most accurate when done each time by the same person as each person may do it a little differently.
It is the trend which is most important as a big baby will be big all along and a small baby is small all along, a sudden change in size is more important.
. Because you are actually 35 weeks . Because the baby is very big . Because you have a lot of amniotic fluid . Because you were measured wrong . Because you are having twins or more
Then you are going to have a miscairrage.
You have been pregnant for 22 weeks and should be delivering in approximately 17 weeks.
All it means is That your 6 weeks pregnant (your having a baby, and you've been pregnant for 6 weeks which is 42 days) and your just craving, (you feel like you want something really bad) like every pregnant woman does, even If it's something gross or just something like skittles. Ps. Congrats!!
No
Yes. tht does mean your pregnant take a test!
Do you mean how long they stay pregnant? if so its 9 weeks.
No not necessarily, many woman still experience periods whilst pregant. I would strongly recommend you visit your doctor however just rule out any concerns.
when a woman pregnant and her belly button pops out does that mean she in labor yes or no
you are pregnant

Either you are not pregnant or you are less than 5 weeks pregnant.
