2nd Trimester

Measuring small

So at my last ultrasound appointment I was told my baby is measuring small and is in the 18th percentile and they wanted to do another ultrasound at my next 4 week appointment. When I went for that today (24 weeks) they said she’s still on the smaller side in the 11th percentile so they want to do another ultrasound in 4 weeks to check on her again. Should I be worried? Is there anything else I can do to help with her growth? I’m super nervous about it!

Re: Measuring small

  • I had the exact same thing happen to me, my son kept getting smaller (started in the 30th percentile, went down to the 15th and then the 3rd). My doctor kept a close eye but he was born a week early weighing 7p2oz, the doctor did say my placenta was in the smaller side but he is now a perfectly healthy 3 year old in the 80th percentile! I know it’s super stressful but as long as she is on the charts and the doctors aren’t concerned try not to worry :)
