TTHHIISSS!!!!!!! Sometimes a transfer is needed to assist mom in finishing up he labor and delivery! And there should be NO SHAME in a transfer!

I try my damndest to never wait for that red flag. 3 yellow flags and we are transferring. 1 yellow perks me up, 2 yellows have me on guard, 3 yellows, we must go in. Might my transfer rate be a bit higher then others? Maybe. Some years for sure...others not so much. The key (my key) is to listen to my gut (some may call that the Holy Spirit). The end game is mom and baby being safe. Is there trauma? Yes, sometimes, but homebirth is not the be all end all. Hospitals and OBs are there for when we need them and I am grateful.

What is Fundal Height? 🤰💛

Fundal height is the measurement from the top of your uterus (called the fundus) to your p***c bone. Your doctor or midwife measures it using a simple tape during prenatal visits — it’s quick, painless, and super helpful!

📏 The number (in centimeters) usually matches how many weeks pregnant you are.
For example: 24 weeks pregnant → around 24 cm fundal height.

This helps track your baby’s growth and position.
If the measurement is higher or lower than expected, your doctor may do extra checks to make sure everything’s okay.

It’s one of the easiest ways to monitor your baby’s development as your bump grows! 💕
