ANS: b
Feedback
a. At 12 weeks' gestation, the fundus should be felt at the level of the symphysis pubis.
b. The fundus at the level of the umbilicus indicates 20 weeks' gestation. In this question, the fact that this patient is a multigravida is not relevant. Uterine growth should be consistent for both primigravidas and multigravidas.
c. At 28 weeks' gestation, the fundus should be felt 8 cm above the level of the umbilicus.
d. At 36 weeks' gestation, the fundus should be felt at the xiphoid process.
