Every visit my gynac takes a tape and measures my pet but I never really understood what shes checking exactly. Im 28 weeks. Can someone explain in simple words na?
Completely agree with letting the gynac do this during your regular checkups rather than trying it at home. It's measured in centimeters and usually matches your week of pregnancy.
Your doctor will measure this from your pubic bone to the top of your uterus using a simple measuring tape. I remember being so obsessed with my measurements, but honestly, every body shape is different and my baby grew into a perfectly healthy toddler!
I am still learning about all these terms, but fundal height sounds like such a beautiful way to track how your little one is growing week by week. It is always best to let the clinical staff handle it during your prenatal visits so you get accurate readings.
Measuring it on your own at home can be inaccurate and cause unnecessary stress. My doctor always did this during our scans and it usually aligned nicely with my baby's growth. Focus on eating well and resting, your gynac has got the measurements handled.
Oh, this brings back so many memories of my weekly checkups where the doctor would gently press my tummy to measure the growth. It can feel a bit overwhelming to keep track of these numbers, but trust your doctor's hands, they know exactly what they are doing.
