36w + a little freaked out

runner4546 · March 2011

I had my 36 week appt yesterday and I lost two pounds, plus my belly was only measuring 33 weeks so I was sent for an U/S to check fluid and growth. The fluid looks good but he is only measuring 33 weeks via U/S so I was sent to L & D for a non-stress test. He passed with flying colors so I was sent home and told to come back Monday for another NST and fluid check. Doc said I will most likely need to deliver in the next 10 days - 2 weeks if he's not growing well in there. Sigh...so I have been worrying all night about what he isn't growing well and I've already had two breakfasts this morning to help him along!

Anyone else not measuring on track? I was up until this point, albeit a little small still.

i thought i had heard that when baby drops they can measure small - i have no idea though!

glad to hear all the test came back well.

That's what I had heard too but since they actually did the growth scan via ultrasound, I think it's pretty accurate. I don't know though - he has definitely moved and is was down low. He was breech at the 31 weeks US we had at the 3D place so he's moved down these past few weeks.

I'm 33w measuring 30.5. My growth ultrasound is scheduled for Thursday, so I hope everything turns out OK!

My baby always measured on track but at my 35w u/s with a new doctor at a new practice she measured 2 weeks behind Sad I have had plenty of sleepless nights since then. They told me not to worry until she measures 3weeks behind or more and I'm really nervous that she will.

I'm happy to hear your fluid levels and your NST came back looking good. Fingers crossed they look just as good if not better on Monday! Try to get some rest momma.
