What Does Less Uterus Measurement During Pregnancy Indicate?
Question: If my uterus is measuring less than in should does this indicate a problem ?
Im 28 weeks preg and my midwife measured the uterus which was 25cm, i have a growth scan soon.
I have struggled with food in the preg, no appetite , bloating , feeling nausea etc abd therefore food intake has been poor . Is it food related that im not that big?

Brief Answer:
It's normal
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thanks for your query.
You dont need to worry because this relationship is only applicable between 15 and 25 weeks.
Before and after that this relationship goes out the window.
Generally, the pregnancy is halfway (about 20 weeks) when the fundal height is palpable (felt) at the umbilicus.
For every finger’s width above your belly button the fundal height reaches, you can add a week.
Likewise, below the umbilicus, you can subtract a week.
But 25 cm in 28 weeks of pregnancy is very normal.

Brief Answer:
You should consult with an endocrinologist
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Pre fasting result is a normal range but post glucose result is increased.
You should consult with an endocrinologist to start an appropriate diet to maintain a balanced level of glucose .
Increased levels of blood glucose can damage your baby or cause macrosomia fetale.
