Fundal height?!


Question: everywhere i read says that at 20 weeks your fundal height should be at your belly button. i right now am 15 weeks 4 days and my uterus is up to my belly button but when i measured it from the top of the pubic bone to the top of the uterus it measures 15cm. Is fundal height different with shorter torsos and different bodies?

Your uterus measures exactly how many weeks you are. If you are 15 weeks and it is measuring 15, then it is correct. Not all bodies are the same. Some belly buttons are higher or lower than others. Always go by measurements. The belly button thing is just an "average" woman statement.

quite possible and that would make sense

Really dont measure it yourself. When you go to the doctor he will measure and he can tell you ifthere is any reason for concern. Also there is a reason you lie down when this measurement is done. Ultimately let your doctor check it and he will determine if everything is fine. I am sure it is fine.

yes-everyone is different. If you are long and lean like, it does not show. Other people look enormous. Don't worry

You measure from your pubic bone to the top of your womb, which your supposed to be able to feel although I always found it hard to find, but if at 15 weeks you are measuring 15cm then that is spot on.
