Did you know? Fundal height measurements are standard in maternity care and are used for tracking your baby's growth. Here's the lowdown!

🗓 Timing Matters: Usually measured after 20 weeks during routine antenatal checks.

🤔 How it's Done: A tape measure gauges the distance from your p***c bone to the top of your uterus, estimating the size of your baby.

💡 Make it Accurate: Stay hydrated! Dehydration can affect amniotic fluid levels, impacting measurements. Also, empty your bladder before measurement for a more accurate reading.

📉 Discrepancies Happen: Factors like amniotic fluid, lack of continuity and consistency of who is doing the measuring at each appointment, and baby's position can influence accuracy. It's a guide, not a rigid rule.

Knowledge is power! 💖

We have all heard “thank god I was in the hospital because the cord was wrapped around the baby’s neck!” but how dangerous is a nuchal cord, and why does it happen? And what causes cord prolapse and what can be done when it occurs? Cords wrapped around babies necks and cords slipping out first... they sound like total emergency disaster situations! But whilst one is an obstetric emergency, the other isn’t. We talk nuchal cords and cord prolapse with independent midwife . This essential episode will re-educate and dispel myths, and an important listen for anyone who is pregnant.

You may get told that you “can’t“ have a VBAC (vaginal birth after caesarean) because it’s too risky due to the chances of the scar rupturing. And yes uterine scar rupture is a risk, and can be extremely dangerous, BUT… has anyone ever quantified that risk? Swipe to compare the risks of dying of scar rupture vs other lifetime risks... it may be eye opening!

If you're planning a VBAC I recommend these helpful accounts and resources!






Prepare yourself with facts! VBACs are absolutely possible for the majority of pregnant people!
