Question!

Can somebody explain to me something about the fundal height topic? specifically, the location of the fundus at a particular week of gestation

another question..what are the nursing interventions for cord coil?

this is for our oral exam..and we need to research on this...but i can't seem to find a pretty good discussion about this on the net

look in your textbook!

Well, I am not an OB nurse, but I have had a few babies! From what I understand, fundal height is not measured until starting at approximately 20 weeks. From that time, fundal height (in cm) should be about equal to the number of weeks gestation. In other words, if you are 22 weeks, your fundal height should measure about 22 cm. And I believe fundal height is measure from the top of the pubic bone to the top edge of the fundus (you sometimes have to really feel around to be able to palpate it). If I am wrong on any of this, someone please correct me!
