Fundal Height

Rebecca

So I'm very obese and today at my 22 week appointment my doctor measured fundal height for the first time and I measured at 28. He didn't seem concerned and assured me that my reading was normal given my weight. I was just curious if anyone else has had a similar experience.

Yes. It’s perfectly normal to measure a heads you should only worry if you measure behind. But they would only do an ultrasound.

My doctor doesn’t even tell me where I’m measuring so I just assume she’s happy. 🤷‍♀️

Fundal height is just a guide. Many factors, especially belly fat, can contribute to an ahead measure.

I started measuring more and more ahead but they didn’t say it was weight related. I guess it could have been. I was told i had a ton of amniotic fluid which proved true when I looked huge but my daughter was only 7lbs 11 oz at birth at 40 weeks 3 days gestation
