Momma u went to a hospital and a tape was use to measure your stomach and u were like which kind wahala be these 😂😂😂
Oya come close let me tell why they use tape to measure ad it's importance ✍️
It is called fundal heights measurements,these procedures enables ur care provider estimate the gestational age of ur baby and After about 20 weeks of pregnancy, your fundal height in centimeters should be close to the fetus's gestational age. For example, if you are 24 weeks pregnant, your fundal height should be around 24 centimeters.
➡️How accurate is the measurement???
Nothing is 100% accurate when it comes to estimating your baby's size in utero. It's common for your baby's size to be off by a centimeter or two.
➡️At what time of pregnancy is fundal height measured??
At about 20 weeks in pregnancy. This is the approximate time when fundal height and gestational age begin matching each other.
➡️What does it mean if my fundal height is measuring small?
•You are petite or have strong abdominal muscles.
•You have oligohydramnios (not enough amniotic fluid).
•The fetus has already dropped into your pelvis.
•Fetal growth restriction (several conditions can cause this)
➡️What does it mean if my fundal height is measuring ahead?
•Your due date is wrong.
•You have uterine fibroids.
•You have a BMI of over 25 (have overweight or obesity).
•You are carrying twins or triplets.
•You have polyhydramnios (excess amniotic fluid).
•The fetus is in a breech position.
•The fetus has fetal macrosomia (it can be caused by diabetes
Note:✍️👇
Your fundal height in centimeters should be close to the number of weeks you are in pregnancy, plus or minus 2 centimeters. However, this is only the case from about weeks 20 to 36. Before 20 weeks of pregnancy, your fundus is not high enough. After 36 weeks of pregnancy, your fundus starts to go down. This is because the fetus has dropped
