Fundal measurements?

Question

I am 36 weeks today, and at my appt my Dr. Said my fundal measurement was 34 cm, where I guess it should have been closer to 36 cm. 
She said she wasn't concerned and that there is a 2 cm margin of error, but she also ordered a growth ultrasound for my next appt which made me worry. 
She mentioned that the baby was really low, which I can totally tell. She said that that could be throwing off the measurement. 
Has anyone else had a smaller than normal fundal measurement? Did it work out ok? I didn't have any of this with my first daughter so I'm just a little nervous 😬

Answer

My Dr doesn't even do fundal height Because he says it's unreliable

Answer

My baby has measured 2 weeks behind (fundal measurement wise) for the last 3 appointments and my doctor said it’s no issue unless that difference becomes larger as we go

Answer

I measured smaller (just 2 inches) at my 31 week appt but the 33 week ultrasound measured the baby in the 87th%ile!  I don’t think it matters as long as your baby is healthy!

Answer

I just had this happen to me. My doctor did not tell me the measurement at my 32 week appt but said it was “a little small” and ordered an ultrasound to check size. I had the ultrasound a week later and everything looks perfect but baby girl is small. she is 17th% for growth and the high risk doctor that evaluated the ultrasound said there is nothing to be worried about and no reason to even be seen again.

Answer

My fundal height was normal, but my baby measured huge - I think you're alright! It seems like maybe fundal runs small.

Answer

I was measuring 3 weeks behind (with baby two)  and just had my ultrasound yesterday. She was perfect and measuring right on track. I’m carrying low and am on the taller side. Try not to worry too much!

Answer

Within two cm is normal. My daughter was always 2cm “behind” and she came 5 days early 🤷🏼‍♀️ and she was perfect size and healthy!

Answer

I was measuring 2 weeks (cm) behind around that time and the ultrasound two weeks later showed she was right on track! Was measuring 1.5 weeks behind last week and am caught up again today.
