Fundal Height 4cm's too low- what could that be?

[LMS]

Hey Honey,
I went in for my checkup when I was 36 weeks with my first and she was measuring 32- 33 weeks. I asked for one of the Drs to be bought up to measure and have a look yet they all ended up measuring from a different point on my pubic bone up to the top of my belly. My midwife was concerned and talking about extra ultrasounds and the like yet I chose not to have any intervention. Nothing ended up being wrong, she was born a healthy 3.45kgs and 52cm long. These days you may find a lot of people find the fundal height measurement to be very inaccurate, especially during the last weeks.
Hope you are feeling less anxious. I know I didn't feel the best but If the ultrasound makes you feel better than get it done.
P.s I got bigger in the last 2 weeks!

Thanks girls I got a phone call from the mw this morning after she talked to the ob. Ob has said a second u/s probably won't even be neccassary, she is not concernced about the results given that ds was so little and I'm only 153 cms myself. I think that's a pretty sensible assumption and I'm very happy with it, not to mention much less worried

I'm glad you've had some reassurance that all is fine. Some women do just have small babies and afterall, we know it takes babies of all sizes to create those charts we all love to hate Plus between now and then bubs has the potential to gain another 500gms if you don't go past dates and even more if you do

With my last 3 pregnancies I never measured past 32 CM at full term all my babies came out fine. You have plenty more time for growing so relax and enjoy your last few weeks

I do get IUGR but my babies are all older now and are the same size as other kids their age.
