Fundal Heights?!

Question

I'm curious as to how everyone's fundal heights are correlating to how many weeks pregnant they are. At 29w mine was 31cm and is still the same at 32w. Does that mean baby hasn't grown at all? Or is she just in a different position?

Answer

My doctor doesn't even measure 😕

Answer

Any measurement +/-2 cm of how many weeks you are is totally normal :)

Answer

Technically you should measure 1 week ahead of your gestational age so if you are 30 weeks pregnant then you should measure 31 in fundal height. But I wouldn't worry if it's out by a but either way. My midwife measures me today and I'm measuring 35 and I turn 33 this week. She said it was fine.

Answer

I measure perfectly every time. But I did with my first and he was 4 weeks premature weighing 8lbs 1oz at birth (my due date was wrong). Doc said he was more like 2 weeks early than 4.

Answer

Probably just the position. I've been measuring all over the place. 2 cm behind, then right on track, then 2 cm behind again. I've had to have two biophysical ultrasounds though and baby is measuring pretty much on track, actually a few days ahead, and my fluid levels are good.

Also with my last pregnancy, I started measuring really small after 37 weeks. Midwife said it was not a concern at that point and it was probably because baby had dropped. So position definitely can be a factor.

Answer

I was measuring a week ahead until my last appointment at 31weeks I measured 30cm--still very normal :)

Answer

I went for my 29 wk appt today and measuring 31 weeks. I have been consistently measuring a week or two ahead but she says that is pretty common since this is my 4th.
