Hi everyone thanks :) im very sure of my due date as I have had many scans that all match up to my LMP Bub ism easuring fine so its not a big baby issue LOL Im guessing its just up high as this is my 5th pregnancy. I have 2 little boys and have 2 losses, 1 at 7 weeks and 1 at 14 weeks. I was just curious as to how many others had high fundal height at this time :)

The fundal height is roughly at your belly button at twenty weeks. If it is not your first baby then it Will be a bit higher. Mine is around one inch below my belly button at 15 weeks. But with my first it didn't rise out of my pelvis till 19 weeks. As others have said it's not usually measured until much later and doesn't really indicate much in terms of baby size. Are you sure of your dd?

I'm 23 weeks, and have not had a fundal height measurement. From what I understand they aren't supposed to do it before 20 just because your uterus is still smal..?

Midwives here don't check fundal height till about 24/28 weeks appointment. They checked mines first at my 28 week appointment as it can be difficult to find.

I didnt even get mine checked until 20 wks both pregnancies. I didnt know they did them earlier than that just because your uterus is still small.
