What is it called when doctors measure from pubic bone to uterus during pregnancy??

Fundal height : Fundal height is measured from the pubic bone to the top of the uterus. After the first 16 weeks of pregnancy, your fundal height in cm often matches the number of weeks you have been pregnant. This is just a gauge and your doctor will determine if all is well with your baby

Fundal Height: Doctors measure, by centimeters, the pubic bone to the top of the uterus to help determine proper fetal growth. While it is rudimentary, it can help to determine if the baby is growing too fast or slow. It is also useful for dating of the baby by week.
