Midwife appointment

Had my 25 weeks appointment today, everything was fine and normal, she listened to babys heartbeat and that was good, I'm sure she said it was 160 ish.
She had a measure of bump, that was 23 cm, am I right in thinking its meant to to be equal cm to equal weeks ie as i'm 25 it meant to be 25 cm ???
She wasn't worried so I'm not lol!!!
She had a feel of bump and baby was head down with its butt at the top left of my bump, back down the left side and limbs on the right. Normally I feel baby like that but the butt tends to be on the top right of my bump lol still with back down the left as I get alot of movement down the right!!
I have my next appointment on the 30th Jan, I'll be 28 weeks !!!!

That's great news, Helen, that everything seemed fine.

As Georgi said, don't worry about the fundal height measurement. It is not an accurate measure and the measurements usually vary from doctor to doctor and midwife to midwife. I read up on it when I was pregnant and there are already doctors/midwifes that don't to this kind of measurement any more at all. So please don't worry!

I think as you say how baby was led may have an impact on the size, as it was angled lol !!!

Can't wait for next appoinment !!!

That's great news Helen. I wouldn't worry about the fundal height. They usually allow a couple of centimetres either side for reasons that Georgi has already said. As long as you are growing every time you see the midwife it should be fine.

Thanks hun !!!
