Fundal height

I had my 27 week app with my midwife today ( also under consultant care). But she didn't measure bump which is what I expected. I don't know if she didn't do it because I'm having growth scans at the end of the month. Should I have asked for her to measure me. ?

Probably should’ve measured but doubt it’s a major issue especially if getting scans

@Georgina yh I'm getting growth scans because all my babies have been 5-6lb full term X

I didn’t have my fundal height measured last pregnancy as was having growth scans

@Sophia awww that makes sense then thanks Sophia. Wasn't sure wether I should have asked as my next growth scan isn't untill the 29th of may. X

It’s no problem. Tbh I think it could get quite confusing using both and growth scans are more accurate than the fundal height. Got my next growth scan mid June but won’t be asking to be measured fundal height wise

@Sophia yes they told me because I'm short and have a short frame my bump will always appear bigger and it's not an accurate depiction of growth which proves so true as my babies are tiny.

My bump was measured last week at midwife but I’ve always been consultant led and never had it done before. I have had 2 5lb babies yet my bump was measuring big! I’m small too. I imagine when I go for my growth scan next week the baby isn’t as big as my bump makes out🙈

Yes my bumps are always massive and babies are tiny. I always wonder what size they would be if I went early.
