Fundal height

With my last pregnancy my fundal height was measuring very small (can’t actually remember what percentile) so I was referred for a growth scan to which she actually measured on the 90th centile on scans up until birth so I don’t think fundal height is very accurate as they dont really take into account things like height x

Hey! I went through the exact same in my first pregnancy and I expect the same in this one, although our trust only starts measuring at 28 weeks. I was told my son was high centiles at growth scans and my bump always measured slightly ‘ahead’. It really freaked me out thinking he was massive and I’d have to birth this giant baby but I’ve since realised fundal height is essentially a waste of time as it’s so inaccurate so I don’t stress about it anymore. He was born just under 7lb so totally normal and I’d spent ages worrying about nothing! It’s all guesswork and estimates! Hope it all goes okay x

I was measured at 24 weeks with a fundal height at 97th percentile.

Take the measurement with a pinch of salt - those that I know have expressed how inaccurate it’s been for them.

I’ve been referred for a growth scan at 32 weeks, so I will see how that goes before freaking out about birthing a giant baby 😅😂 I know how you feel.
