Abnormal symphysis fundal height
Measurement of fundal height can alert to a fetus that is "too big" or "too small"-and can help to identify a potentially risky delivery. Important objectives of prenatal care are to promote health status of the pregnant woman (through proper nutrition and health habits), monitor status of fetal development, prepare for delivery, and prepare for care of the newborn. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that at least four prenatal care visits occur during the pregnancy, and include the following:
1) Monitoring of the symphysis fundal height
2) Monitoring for signs of preeclampsia
3) Development of an individualized birth plan to match the health needs of the patient
