Fundal Height Measurement?
I went to the doctor last night - He whipped out a tape measure and measured my stomach! 
I have asked everyone I know (including 2 people who have the same dr. as me) and this has never happened to them.
Anyway - After he measured my stomach, he suggested that I have a sonogram to see how big the baby is.
Did anyone get measured like this? BTW - I'm 32 weeks.

Re: Fundal Height Measurement?
I remember that I had a fill in doctor with my first pregnancy because my regular doctor was away and he measured me like that too. I was probably also around 32 wks, he said that everything measure ok.
But, my regular doctor never measured me like that, not that I remember...this was 6 yrs ago.
I guess it's too soon for measurements w/this pregnancy since I am only 14 wks.

Re: Fundal Height Measurement?
yup I had the fundal measurement taken at every appointment starting from about 4 months Its measured from Pubic Bone to Fundus (top of the uterus).
The measurement usually coincides and is very close to the weeks you are pregnant, ie 21cm = 20 weeks
