Fundel Height problems. . .

[Leah1988]

I went to the Dr. for my 25week check up and they said my fundus is measuring to 23 weeks. I've been measuring 2 weeks behind for as long as i could remember.  When i went in for my 20 week u/s he measureed right where he should at 20 weeks 1day. . . .does that mean that hes gonna be small?

I do think the ultrasound is more accurate because he measured dead on to the point of LMP. I was just worried. . .

Like the ladies above me said fundel height isnt a very accurate way of measuring how big the babies going to actually be...My doc told me she thought i was going to have a big baby because of fundel height and actually my daughter was only 6lb 3oz. So i really wouldnt worry. u/s is more accurate and even that can be a week behind or ahead then what baby actually is. If the doc doesnt seem worried then I wouldnt either =]

Ya don't worry about it! I was the same way and ended up having a 9lb baby!! lol It depends on how your body is and how you carry your baby too!

Not nessesarly. Fundel height is an inaccurate way to measure and if ultrasound is showing proper growth you have nothing to worry about. I was 33 weeks and measured to be 27 weeks. Ultrasound showed her to be 32 weeks 6 days. She was born at 39 weeks weighing 6 pounds 12 ounces.
