A member asked:

At my last prenatal visit my midwife gave me a fundal height measurement of 21cm. does that mean i'm 21 weeks pregnant?

Approximately: The fundal height is an approximation of the number of weeks gestation that is closely accurate except in the morbidly obese pregnant patient.

Due date: The fundal height should match the gestational age, height less than 4 cm is worrisome. so answer to your question is yes.
