Fundal height measurement is an important part of maternity nursing. By measuring the fundal height during pregnancy, we can determine how well the baby is growing and gestational age.

To measure the fundal height, the patient will need to lie down on their back. You will then use a tape measure to measure from the symphysis pubis to the fundus.

Fundal height is an important part of maternity nursing, and this is something nursing students might see on exams, such as the NCLEX-RN.

Key Concepts about Fundal Height:

The fundal height is above the symphysis pubis at 12 weeks. It is at the belly button (navel or umbilicus) at 20 weeks. At 36 weeks it measures at the xiphoid process, and then at 37-40 weeks the fundus regresses downward about 4 cm from the xiphoid process.

After pregnancy (1 hour after delivery), the fundus is at the umbilicus. It will decrease 1 cm per day and be non-palpable by 10-14 days. By day 7, it will be at the symphysis pubis.
