Should I Be Worried About my Fundal Height?

Question

Hi ladies. I had a regular appointment yesterday at 33 weeks. However, when my doctor measured me, my fundal height was measuring at 32 weeks. She didn’t seem concerned and didn’t schedule a growth scan either, but I’m worried because my baby has measured ahead up until now. Is fundal height really that accurate? This is my first pregnancy so I’m worried 🥺

Answer

Fundal height is not very accurate. My doctors don’t even measure that way anymore because of it’s inaccuracy. All women carry differently and carry different babies differently.

Answer

Mine was about 4 weeks ahead, they sent me for a growth scan and baby measuring perfect, the consultant even said it’s not accurate when measuring belly.

Answer

Mine was always 2-3 weeks behind what it should have been. They can measure incorrectly and baby may be in an odd position.

Answer

It’s normal to measure 1-2 weeks off either way
