Brief Answer:
The fetal weight and fundal height are normal for 26 weeks.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
At 26 weeks of pregnancy the fundal height of 25 cm and weight of 865gms is normal. The fundal height can vary between 23-26 cm at 26 weeks gestation.
It is mandatory to have a growth scan every 4-6 weeks to monitor the growth of the baby. If on physical examination doctor has a doubt of lesser growth of the baby then it is best to get a scan done to rule out any discrepancy.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
