Solution

Based on the location of the uterine fundus, your friend is likely around 20-22 weeks pregnant, which is approximately 5 to 5.5 months. The uterine fundus typically reaches the level of the umbilicus at about 20 weeks and then continues to grow approximately one centimeter per week. So, if the fundus is 3 fingers above the umbilicus, it suggests she is slightly more than 20 weeks pregnant. Therefore, you would explain to your friend that she is already about 5 to 5.5 months pregnant.
