Midwife didn't seem worried at all?! Anyone else had this?

I had my appointment yesterday and i measured 31cm apparently and i was 31+5 weeks so nearly 32weeks .. they dont tend to say it matters if your 2/3cm above/below i think it is.. x

They only get worried if it's more than 2cm i think!

Don't worry hun, i'm sure everything is fine

Its perfectly normal to be 2cm either side and fundal height is wildly inaccurate so definately do not worry! Fundal height can be measured differently by different midwives and at different times of the day depending on where baby is sat.

I have consistantly measured 2cm small since 27 weeks. As long as there is growth they dont worry. My midwife said that as long as you are within 3cm, dont worry. Though I had previoulsy heard it was 2cm...?

Dont worry hun - youre doing fine

I've been measuring a cm behind for the last couple weeks, i.e at 34 weeks I was 33 cm. At my last appt. - 36 weeks I was 34 cm. Doctor didn't mention it was a problem. I plan to ask him about it at my next appt if it decreases any further, though. But I was reading today that growth slows somewhat in the third trimester - the focus in more on putting on weight, so your fundal height may not change as much as it did in the second tri.

If it makes you feel any better I'm almost 36 weeks and I measure 29! I've been scanned and Flump is fine and growing at the 48th percentile. I'm just not carrying a lot of water so my bump is all baby.
