What is rubins maneuver?

Rubin's maneuver is a medical technique used to determine the size of the fetus during pregnancy. It involves pressing down on the abdominal area above the pelvic bone and then measuring the distance from the pubic bone to the top of the uterus. This measurement is known as the symphysis-fundal height and helps to estimate the gestational age and size of the fetus. The maneuver is typically performed by healthcare professionals during routine prenatal checkups and is an important tool in monitoring fetal growth and development.
