That means if you're 29 weeks pregnant, your fundal height will usually be about 29 centimeters. Between weeks 37 and 40, your baby starts to descend into your pelvis in preparation for birth, so the measurement of fundal height begins to decrease.

If your fundal height is smaller than expected, it may be because: Your baby is smaller than expected. You don't have enough amniotic fluid. Your baby's growth is being restricted.
