baby measuring small

nicoleh55

So I had my 34 week appointment today and when the Dr measured my belly he said I was measuring small. They are doing an ultra sound next week.
Dr wasn't that concerned, but i'm curious if anyone else has experienced this.

Smal based on fundal height? What was the measurement? Those aren't really accurate, so try not to worry

I'm measuring about 3 weeks behind but baby's growth rate is good so my doctor isnt' worried.  She won't do another ultrasound unless baby's growth drops off.

I was measuring small at 32 weeks. (Only by 2 cm) But dr had me come in for an ultra sound just to be sure and everything was fine! Also, when the baby drops you start to measure smaller. My doc says the general rule is cm matches up with what week you ar

I am also measuring 3 weeks behind. Doc said she is going to watch my growth and they may do an ultrasound if i continue to measure behind. Heartbeat sounds good though. I have a long torso so that is why i think i am measuring behind

Fundal height can really vary based on position. I was measuring behind 3 weeks (both fundal height and weekly growth hadn't changed over 3 weeks), so I got a growth u/s. Baby had just dropped and was measuring normally.

The ultrasound will determine whether you actually have a smaller baby or if the position if the baby is causing you to measure small. My belly never grew past 32 weeks, but baby was growing just fine and we had a happy and healthy 7 lb baby.

I am currently measuring 4 weeks behind.  I have an appt today and I am pretty sure I will be 5 weeks.  She seems to only grow 0.5 cm per week as opposed to 1cm.  Last ultrasound said she was small but on track for my due date.  Hav

I have been measuring small for the past month. It is due to my height: 5'11". Are you tall? I had an ultrasound after measuring 29 cm fundal height at 36 weeks. Baby measured on track for 35 weeks, 5 days.
