Is it normal to always be measuring 2 weeks behind? 37w

Question

Everytime we have been to our midwife shes measured us 2 weeks behind... I'm 37 now and its just starting to worry me... will we ever reach the size we are supposed to be?

Answer

Fundal height isnt an exact science. The normal range can vary two weeks behind or ahead. As long as you’re growing every appointment you’re fine

Answer

Fundal height can vary a lot, and doesn’t reflect baby’s actual size very accurately.

Answer

Baby is or your fundal height is? Either way, it sounds like it’s consistent so I wouldn’t worry.

Answer

As long as throughout the whole pregnancy the baby’s growth was consistent (which is definitely has been because baby has grown!) then you’re perfectly fine. Ultrasounds also aren’t as accurate at measuring usually give or take about 2 weeks. Just don’t be surprised if baby comes a little later than expected due date!

Answer

Yep! Babys size before birth is guessed, its not accurate.
