1. Twin pregnancy.
2. Intrauterine growth restriction.
3. Polyhydramnios.
4. Breech position.
2
Rationale 1: A sudden increase in fundal height could indicate twins or polyhydramnios (excessive amount of amniotic fluid).
Rationale 2: A lag in progression of measurements of fundal height from month to month and week to week could signal intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR).
Rationale 3: A sudden increase in fundal height could indicate twins or polyhydramnios (excessive amount of amniotic fluid).
Rationale 4: Breech position would still have a normal fundal height measurement.
