    Nothing to stress about. You can't tell how big a baby is just by looking at how big your tummy is and fundal height isn't overly accurate. Fundal height also still relies on the person measuring to get the tape measure in exactly the right spot and can also depend on how the baby is lying etc. At 21w my fundal height was 23cm and the midwife wasn't worried at all. It can vary quite a bit and be nothing to be concerned about. Grrr @ the doctors for getting you worried about it! From the sounds of it your bubba is doing fine and growing as it should be. The sonographer would have said something if there was anything wrong.

    hmm i just assumed they were going by fundal height.

    maybe my belly itself is too big? ahhh. wish they would tell you what they really mean!

    i think i will check with the sonographer just to be sure. hurry up 3 weeks.
