Several factors can influence fundal height, including:
Maternal Obesity: Excess abdominal fat can make it challenging to measure fundal height accurately. Multiple Pregnancies: Carrying more than one baby can result in a larger fundal height measurement. Fetal Position: The position of the fetus can affect the measurement. For example, a transverse or breech position may alter the fundal height. Amniotic Fluid Volume: Both excessive and insufficient amniotic fluid can impact fundal height measurements. Maternal Health Conditions: Conditions such as fibroids or ovarian cysts can also affect the measurement.
