    Oh that is interesting. I know my bub is head down deep in my pelvis and I remember at my 20 week scan they couldn't get the head measurements properly because he/she was so far down there! Seems that but still is down really far But I understand that there is plenty of time and bub can move around lots still. As long as when the time comes bub is in the right position I will be happy.

    So say if you were like 26 weeks and your Fundal Height was like 29 or 30?? Would that mean you are big for how many weeks you are?

    I just find it all quite interesting

    I don't mind what size bub I have though, as long as he/she is healthy. Although if I were to be picky I would beg the baby to not grow past 8 pounds

    With DS mine were always out....i was told i was having a 'tiny' baby.....he came out 7lb9oz.....LOL

    All depends on bubs decision, where they measure from (2 different peple can get 2 different measurements), its just a rough guide

    My fundal heights always measured exact for the week I was in, and ended up with a 9 pounder! This time they are tracking with the weeks again, but hopefully bubs wont be as big.
