Uterus measurement

How much is your fundal height (from the pubic bone to the top of the uterus) at 36 weeks? This is measured by the midwife during check-ups. I'm curious what your measurements are at 35 or 36 weeks.

    Week 36, I was at 35 cm... And how far along are you?

    I got a referral from the midwife yesterday because she thinks my uterus is measuring too small. I'm at 31-32 cm...that apparently isn't enough...I now have to get a growth scan and I'm pretty worried.

    I don't know how big he is, but the midwife told me that my uterus was the size of a 34-week pregnant belly instead of (what was then) a 32-week belly.. no idea what that means though.. I do know from the OB that our baby is bigger and heavier than average. I found that measurement quite funny, and then poking that belly, feeling how the baby is lying and stuff.. it's so crazy that they can feel that!

    I used to always go to an OB every month like everyone in Belgium.. but I'd rather get guidance from a midwife. Then they come to my home and I only head to the hospital once I have enough dilation sounds much better than having to spend all that time in the hospital, right!

    Hi! I asked my OB-GYN last time, and she said your uterus should be about as high as the number of weeks you're pregnant. Except towards the end of pregnancy, that's not always the case. I'm 33 weeks pregnant now, and my uterus is about 32 cm high.
