A single measurement was most accurate for detecting low birth weight for gestation at 32 to 33 weeks. It is suggested that symphysial-fundal height measurements should be made routinely on all antenatal patients and that each obstetric unit should derive its own standard curves....
How to calculate gestational age from fundal height? There are two different ways to complete this task: We may use the McDonald's rule for fundal height by week: At 12 weeks, the uterus' fundus is located just above the pubic bone. During the 22nd week of pregnancy, the fundus of the...
In this prospective study, symphisis fundal height (SFH) was measured in centimeters at different weeks of gestation from 20th week onwards in 100 healthy women with uncomplicated pregnancies. A curve was plotted based on the mean SFH measurements with standard deviation. Readings were also arranged...
16,22,23 Many fundal height charts show growth until about 36–38 weeks, after which the curve flattens. However, such charts are often based on menstrual dates, which can cause artificial flatting of the growth curve at term, as illustrated by birthweight charts such as those widely used ...

Symphysio fundal height (SFH) is an essential part of examination of pregnant women. In this study we discuss various formulas and USG for determining gestational age and applying them on our population. Methods: This is a prospective observational study done at the Department of Obstetrics and ...

The common prediction rule states that the distance in centimeters between the pubic symphysis and the top of the fundus equals the gestational age in weeks. The correlation holds best between weeks 18 and 32. This study compares manual and ultrasound measurements of fundal height. Methods. We ...
