When do they start measuring a bump?

[MrsW27]

Hi ladies, apologies if this is a daft question but I am wondering at what stage the midwife will start measuring my bump to see if I am measuring above/below average?

I'm in Edinburgh too and was measured at 28 weeks and none before that. I do think she probably kept an eye as at 22 week appointment she did say 'ah you look fine we'll measure next time'(not very technical but she he has been a midwife much longer than I have been pregnant)

Not sure why it says she he but my midwife is a she
