    I remembered my Ob telling me the same thing before I had my third trimester ultrasound. Luckily, she reassured me that it is okay because it really depends on the baby's position which could largely affect the height of your uterus. Instead, ultrasound is the best indicator. I think it's better that Obs don't make any comments about our fundal heights because like everyone mentioned above, it does not bring us anything but worries!

    OK i'm back from my next OB appointment and she measured me at 34.5 weeks as apposed to 31.5 weeks so i'm of for an ultrasound!!

    She says that we need to check whether or not i'm having a big bub, if it is she said we may induce early and if it is just fluid she'll keep an eye on bubs closer!At the moment bubs is head down and in position! i hope she stays there!!

    If bubs is breech at the time due to be induced, it'll be a c-section! arg! i so am trying to avoid that!!

    What is the issue with excess fluid??? is it dangerous?!
