measuring behind

[2CheekyMonkeys]

i am 28 weeks and the doctor just measured my fundal height at 23. she wasnt worried and actually said thats fine. it seems a bit behind to me though.

fundal height is sooooo inaquate!! i wouldnt worry at all about it, i had mine measured for the first time today and would happily not had it measured at all! im 3 weeks behind too but not at all concerned

its normal to be a bit behind or infront. Mine was measuring at 45 when I was 37 weeks!

Holly - look at your ticker picture and that GORGEOUS belly of yours!!!
You're fine darl! You are growing a gorgeous little bundle in there and your belly looks perfect!
Looking at your ticker pic noone would guess your measurements are 'behind' & besides - it is all so inaccurate!!

Never once did my obs even measure fundal height. I had growth scans done at 28 weeks which measured our baby as above average in size for his gestation but even though he measured big they didn't say I was in front or anything. He is just big. Some babies are just small its what makes the world a wonderful place. I have also heard that it could be just the way the baby is laying at that moment too.

I agree you look lovely!

iv been 38cm for the past 4 weeks... (im 40 weeks, 2 days now)

the midwives dont seem to think its a big deal that i my belly hasnt grown, also my weight hasnt really gone up in that time either, but the nurses tell me that as long as im still feeling the babies movements & the babies heartrate is fine, then there is nothing to worry about.

and iv seen a different midwife everytime for the past 4 visits, at the midwives clinic, so the fact that im getting the same information from different people, is comforting, if there was a descrepancy in the information, i would be worried.
