3rd Trimester

Measuring small...

While I know the potential reasons for this, just curious to hear others stories. He was measuring normal at the big u/s, my fundal height was normal 4 weeks ago, but Dr today said I was now measuring behind so she scheduled me another u/s in 2 weeks. Anyone else with this situation or go through this in the past?

Re: Measuring small...

  • Yep, I just posted about this below. I've been measuring all over the place. For the past two weeks I was measuring small..a week behind. Then this week I'm ahead. My dr is almost certain it has something to do with the baby's position because when they order an ultrasound I'm always measuring just a few days ahead.

  • I have mostly been measuring small all along.  Reason: Baby is small.  I have had ultrasounds at 28, 33, and now 34 weeks and she is just small.  I am now being monitored to check her growth until I deliver.

  • I have been measuing right on track every single time.  Then this last one, I was 37w1d and she said I was measuring 35w4d.  I have no idea why I am measuring small - i think she just did her measuring very quickly.  She didn't seem concerned at all, so I haven' t really thought about it.
  • I've been measuring small.  I had ultrasounds at 20weeks and 24 weeks.  Since then, it's just been fundal height measurements.  If I continue to measure small, I'll have another ultrasound at 34 weeks.  Everything seems normal, he's just small.

  • It'sjust an average; so maybe "small" is normal for you.......  It has been for me so far.  She's 20th percentile (at my 34 wk u/s), and I measured 3cm "small" at my last apt which he said was normal for me.
