I consistently measured two to three weeks behind with fundal height and LO was born on my due date, weighing 7 pounds 6 oz and 21 inches, not a small baby as my fundal height would have suggested.</p> <p>ETA: I didn't have any u/s after the anatomy scan so the fundal height and feeling the belly were the only way they were measuring the baby's size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-dr-start-measuring-fundal-height#post-784136 Wed, 15 May 2013 18:10:14 +0000 MamaMoose 784136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine started at 28 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-dr-start-measuring-fundal-height#post-784132 Wed, 15 May 2013 18:08:47 +0000 hilsy85 784132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never! I never got measured. She did so a quick u/s at every appt to check baby's size and position. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-dr-start-measuring-fundal-height#post-784129 Wed, 15 May 2013 18:06:42 +0000 Grace 784129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>19 weeks for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-dr-start-measuring-fundal-height#post-784120 Wed, 15 May 2013 18:01:18 +0000 Foodnerd81 784120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think at 24 weeks. She just said right on track, no number or anything.<br /> Mine hasn't done a urine sample in two months. As long as I have no symptoms she doesn't care. So it's weight, bp, fundal height, heartbeat, see you next time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-dr-start-measuring-fundal-height#post-784118 Wed, 15 May 2013 18:00:59 +0000 wheres_c 784118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine didnt measure but I had growth scans at the perinatologist. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-dr-start-measuring-fundal-height#post-784091 Wed, 15 May 2013 17:46:26 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 784091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I honestly don't remember! 28w? But it isn't a perfect test anyways. Lots if women get worried about it but it turns out through u/s that their baby is perfect size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-dr-start-measuring-fundal-height#post-784087 Wed, 15 May 2013 17:45:15 +0000 swedishfish 784087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They measured me a few times starting around 27-28 weeks? I just had an appointment today at 35 weeks and she didn't bother.</p> <p>ETA - I just had a growth ultrasound on Monday though so maybe that's why. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-dr-start-measuring-fundal-height#post-784086 Wed, 15 May 2013 17:44:57 +0000 Anagram 784086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They've only measured me twice so far and I'm 31 weeks. I've heard fundal height isn't super accurate for telling the size of the baby or anything anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-dr-start-measuring-fundal-height#post-784078 Wed, 15 May 2013 17:40:34 +0000 Charm54 784078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They started at my last appointment - I think I was 17 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-dr-start-measuring-fundal-height#post-784070 Wed, 15 May 2013 17:37:09 +0000 knittylady 784070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember it being right around the beginning of the third trimester...

Maybe 27. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-dr-start-measuring-fundal-height#post-784063 Wed, 15 May 2013 17:31:48 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 784063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My Dr. has commented on my growing belly but at 24 weeks still hasn't measured. I am just wondering if/when your Dr. started measuring and if it is really that important. All she does is check the baby's heartbeat and make sure I haven't developed any new symptoms. (Aside from the normal weight, BP and urine tests) </p>
