Fundal height 6cm behind?

I'm by no means an expert but it seems strange it would go backwards. I know it varies a lot depending on the person measuring it and how they do it. Did your midwife / caregiver offer any advice regarding the measurement?

Thanks for your support ladies - this pregnancy sure isn't going smoothly!

My ob didn't really say too much, just said we would check growth again next Wed and that if movements decrease to go in. I honestly feel bubs will be 'evicted' next Wed.

Don't be too concerned, with A I was measuring in front for all my measurements and then I had another midwife measure me and I was spot on....which means either I didn't grow in a few weeks or I went backwards a bit. Anyway she tells me that my stomach muscles were contracting while I was lying on my back which sorta made things a bit tighter and was harder to measure. When she got me to take a few deep breaths in and out my stomach muscles relaxed and allowed her get a more accurate reading of the fundus. Seems a bit strange I know but perhaps that is what happened today?

P.S I can't wait to announce the arrival getting so close now!!!
