How far along are you? How is your baby measuring?

@rocknroll64 I had something similar happen to me at my last appt. I've been measuring on track this whole time, and then I have to see the PA and she orders another growth scan because she was thought IUGR could be a possibility b/c I'm short. I'm not that short. She said bebe measured 25-30% range and wanted to make sure he continued to grow. I'm pretty sure that range is quite a bit above IUGR status. 

Then she measured my belly and it was 30cm at 30wks. Booyah.

I've had another rush of hormones/morning sickness this week, so I'm hoping he has hit a growth spurt and proves her wrong. I need to stick with my regular Dr. 

That is way above IUGR status.  Yay for measuring right on track!!  I'm hoping for a growth spurt too and surprisingly I had a ton of nausea morning sickness this week also!! 

I'm glad that we're in the same boat! Makes me feel better.

I'm having twins and my fundal height at 32wks was 42cm.

DS always measured big, always 80th percentile or more. He was 9 lb 7 oz, 22 inches when he was born. This baby has been measuring "average" (tech's words; no percentiles given) and apparently quite a bit smaller than DS. My doctor isn't worried, though.

I'm confused as to why your dr said being short has anything to do with iugr

At 32w1d, 4 lbs 8 oz.

To add, when I had an iugr baby, I was measuring 4 weeks behind on fundal height before they finally did an ultrasound. And he did have iugr...I.e. < 10th percentile. He was 4-5 weeks behind for weight. This time, I have been right on track with fundal height and baby is 4.5 lbs at 32 weeks.

I also agree with pp who said you should be +-2 weeks on your fundal height measurements. More than that and they should be doing a growth ultrasound. I had a doctor with my son blow me off when I was measuring 3 weeks behind and had not grown. I let her talk me into waiting and seeing and sure enough at the next appointment I still had not grown at all. Then she pulled this "your tall" crap and I started crying and saying I didn't feel comfortable leaving without an ultrasound. She finally lamented. Sure enough, baby was iugr. Go with your gut. I have repeatedly been presented with situations were doctors were not concerned and I was. Pretty much, I have been right every time. I think there is something to a mother's intuition...unless you are just a hypochondriac.

I just had my regular OB appointment on Friday and they moved my due date from 05/21 to 05/15 based on the ultrasounds (and LMP date). I lost almost a week!

I have been measuring 5 weeks ahead my whole pregnancy. I am currently 34 weeks. I went for an ultra sound and he's perfect. He's a lil heavier then average but my fluids were all right where they should be. I have a doc appt on April 8th. My doc will tell me what's up cause I have no idea other then the fact that he is super healthy.
