After 34 weeks of perfect appointments...

in Pregnant after a Loss
Baby is now measuring 33 weeks instead of 36 and I lost half a pound in the last 2 weeks! I haven't gained a ton of weight this pregnancy because I'm so active, but until today, I've always been right on track. Sad  Dr has me in for an u/s next week, and I'm really trying not to freak out. I know if she was really concerned she would have gotten me in for a scan asap, or even just had me go in for an induction, but since baby's heart sounds good and movements are still good, she's just going to see me next week. I had a crazy busy weekend with my studio's dance recital and I was fighting a bit of a cold so I'm hoping this is just an anomaly. DH did go pick me up a whole bunch of really delicious, semi-fatty foods so that I can "bulk up" so maybe there's a bright side to this whole thing...

    *hugs* I hope your baby does some catching up, and in any case your doctor might feel more comfortable at 37 weeks.  When is your appointment?  Try not to get too stressed, I know it is hard not to worry.

    Is that based on fundal height measurement?  FH can be off for a large number of reasons - it could just be the way baby is positioned.  And weight gain can easily fluctuate just from one day to the next.  I would try not to worry about it...and enjoy the delicious foods!

    This. I was going to ask about fundal measurement. DS was measuring a little behind at some point in the third trimester. He was born at close to 41 weeks weighing 7lbs, 2oz 21.5 inches.  I did not lose weight in third tri but I did stop gaining around 35 weeks.   I think you'll be OK.

    I'm sorry you are worried!! I hope all turns out just fine -- last week I lost a pound but they weren't too concerned, did the same - sent me for NST and u/s, LO was totally fine -- "big" actually, this measurement could be off up to 20% tho so who knows.  The fundal measurement could be off too depending on where your baby is positioned -- try not to worry, keep us posted and get your snack on! :)

    Do not worry.  There are so many little factors that could explain the off measurement.  Measuring fundal hieght is not an exact science.  If the baby was laying transverse, rather than verticle, your bump will not measure as big.  Another thing, you don't have to gain a bunch of weight to have a big baby.

    With DS, I gained 18lbs, then lost 2 in the last 2 weeks for a net weight gain of 16lbs and I had a 9 lb baby.  Based on my weight gain and my fundal height, my doc kept tellling me that my baby was going to be average size.  He was off by about 2lbs.

    Like PP said, if your doc was overly concerned, he'd have sent you for the growth scan right away.  Hang in there mama, oh and now's the time to eat all the stuff you've been avoiding because you didn't want to gain too much weight!

    This is exactly what DH has been telling me all day :) I know in my gut that everything is just fine with LO, but it's never great to hear that things aren't going exactly according to the charts. I am definitely going to enjoy some ice cream & cookies in the next few days. Thanks for all the support ladies, I don't know what I'd do without you!!

    Sorry you got less than ideal news.  I agree with lots of the PP's that the measurements are certainly not an exact science.  I've read recently that it's common for your weight gain to plateau in the last 4 or 5 weeks or even to lose a few pounds.  Fundal height can also be hard to judge since the baby's position can make such a huge difference.  Hope you enjoy eating some delicious treats and try not to worry!  FX you get good news at the next u/s!

    I would try not to worry.  With my son I was always measuring 2 weeks behind and really stopped gaining weight the last 4 weeks - I gained a total of 22lbs.  My midwife had always thought I would have a smaller baby based on my measurements and my ultrasounds (which had my son in the 30th percentile). Everyone was absolutely shocked when I birthed a 8lb.14oz. baby who was 22" long as I am 5'4" and weighed 120 pre-pregnancy - they had no idea where I "hid" the baby. This is just one example of how measurements can be off - keep eating well and try not to worry! Good luck!
