Fundal Height
Hi there ladies
I had my 30-week antenatal check this morning and when the midwife measured me she found that I'd only grown 1/2 cm since my last appointment (at 27 weeks). She didn't seem overly concerned as she said I palpated really well, the heartbeat is fine (145/150 bpm), and as I'm tall she said some women measure smaller because there's more room for baby to spread out. Anyway instead of going back in 4 weeks time I've to go back in 2 weeks to be re-measured. If I still haven't grown much they will scan me to make sure baby is developing properly. Although I'm not too worried (at the moment!) I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced the same thing?

I thought you saw the midwife every 2 weeks from 30 weeks too Zoey, but my midwife definitely said she'll see me in 2 weeks to make sure I've grown rather than the usual 4 weeks so I don't know what that's all about! Nightmare! xxxx
Thanks for the reassurance Kerry. I don't know why they bother measuring us at all cause like you say all women grow at different rates and it just causes extra worry we just don't need! xxxx
