What are the Next Steps if Fundal Height is Abnormal?
If an abnormal fundal height is detected, the healthcare provider may take several steps:
Order an ultrasound to assess fetal growth and amniotic fluid volume. Conduct additional tests to evaluate maternal health conditions that may affect fundal height. Refer the patient to a specialist, such as a maternal-fetal medicine expert, for further evaluation and management. Monitor the pregnancy more closely with frequent prenatal visits and additional fundal height measurements.
