Fundal height measuring small??

Question

Today at my appointment my doctor measured my fundal height and said I was measuring small, stilk within the statisical range but on the smaller side. She scheduled me for an ultrasound tomorrow to get baby girl checked out. Anyone else measuring small? I'm a FTM so just a little nervous as to ehat this could mean.

Answer

At 32 weeks I was measuring 29cm but baby was actually measuring over 2 weeks ahead and in the 67th percentile overall (92nd percentile for femur length!). Fundal height doesn’t really mean anything, don’t stress x

Answer

I’m 36 weeks and today measured at 33. Dr isn’t too worried, she thinks he’s smaller and already starting to be head down. Plus he’s stayed transverse for so long. I wouldn’t stress too much if I were you.

Answer

My whole pregnancy I've measured 2 weeks behind on fundal height. I have an ultrasound in a week and a half but I'm betting my baby will still be big
I was 9lbs 6oz when I was born and husband was 9lbs 😰

Answer

Same deal. Fundal height small and I have an ultrasound Tuesday to check in on her.... doc said she wasn’t worried but just wanted to see. I’m kind of excited though because I’m not worried AND I get to see my baby again. I haven’t had an ultrasound since 18 weeks and wasn’t expecting another one!

Answer

I am measuring behind but baby during ultrasound is measuring in the 47th percentile so not bad at all

Answer

With baby one I went through this. US said she was very small and to prepare myself mentally...girl she was 8.4 lbs two weeks later! I have a long torso and only gained 20lbs - we all carry different don't stress momma!

Answer

My Hugh risk doctor doesn’t measure fundal height unless he really thinks somethings wrong but even then he’d do an ultrasound instead because he says that there is no perfect way to carry and he’s seen women with excess fluid that you’d think had a large baby  birth a 6 pound baby and see women who look very small birth 9 pound babies. 
Don’t stress too much you might just produce small babies which nothing wrong with that!

Answer

Yep! Did the last 8 weeks of my pregnancy! Turns out mt baby was small! 6 pounds exact full term! She ended up being discharged at 5 pounds 12 oz full term! She was perfect, just small!!! Don’t let them scare you!!
