    Well, I am not an OB nurse, but I have had a few babies! From what I understand, fundal height is not measured until starting at approximately 20 weeks. From that time, fundal height (in cm) should be about equal to the number of weeks gestation. In other words, if you are 22 weeks, your fundal height should measure about 22 cm. And I believe fundal height is measure from the top of the pubic bone to the top edge of the fundus (you sometimes have to really feel around to be able to palpate it). If I am wrong on any of this, someone please correct me!

    So they are having you complete an oral exam on maternity and they did not assign a maternity text? Sounds kinda strange to me. Whats more...when you take the NCLEX there will be maternity question, and they don't discriminate based on what texts you had. I would talk to your instructor about what resources you are supposed to have on the subject.

    equally dumbfounded that there is an oral exam for which you have no text.

    and have no research information on.

    odd that.
