How to measure fundal height?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Measuring tape: Use the centimeter side and measure from the middle of the pubic bone (place the zero there) to the top of the curve of the uterus. In general the number of centimeters is about the number of weeks once beyond about 15 weeks.

From the pubic bone: Measurement is good only for single pregnancy. Pubic bone to top of the uterine funds.
