Fundal height measurement
Is it important to get fundal height checked by doctor? I'm in 28th weeks and my doc hasn't checked it through abdomen. But she did my foetal well being and everything was normal.
My height is 4'11, weight pre pregnancy was 61.3kgs, current weight 64.6kgs (diagnosed with GDM, but it is controlled by diet). This is my first pregnancy single baby.

In physical examination the fundal height is checked
if you got an ultrasound done where in the growth of the baby corresponds to the weeks of pregnancy it's okay
