18.5 weeks along - baby only measuring 14.5

DaniW1984 · May 2014

Sorry to hear this and I hope everything is ultimately okay for you and your sweet baby.

Sending hugs your way. So sorry you are dealing with this. I would try to call and schedule an appt for two weeks instead of four. Seems crazy they would make you wait so long.

Thoughts and prayers for you and your baby.

A big thanks for all of the kind words. They want the next ultrasound in four weeks because there should be noticable growth by then. I am trying to stay positive and I tell wee one to grow everyday! I will let you all know how it turns out.

Oh my goodness! That is absolutely terrifying! T&Ps headed your way, and FX that baby is healthy! Was this your first ultrasound? Is there a chance that they have your dates wrong, and that baby is a bit younger than you expected? Best of luck to you!

I am wondering the same … OP is this your first scan? Even if you are still off in 4 weeks, as long as you see growth (and no further issues with fluid, etc), I'm assuming they can just say your dates are off right? Am I making sense?

Thinking and praying for you and your little one. I hope you get great news at the next u/s.

I hope everything turns out okay at your next scan!

knicoletti · May 2014

So sorry about this horrible wait. Was the baby measuring on track in previous scans?

nightowl1989 · May 2014

Definitely unexpected and not the best news at all. Thinking of you, girl! Grow, baby, grow!

awroblewski · May 2014

You and your baby are in my thoughts and prayers. Sending you lots of hugs!

tpete12 · May 2014

I have only have two scans. One at 8 weeks and one at 18. I am hoping that the dates are off and all is well. My belly is still growing, so I will take that as a good sign. 1 week down, 3 weeks to go.....

lrobi13 · May 2014

FX for you. Can you go in for a heartbeat check to help with the waiting period?

MrsSinner402 · May 2014

Im so sorry. FX that all is well.

Fingers and toes crossed for you. When I look at new babies and little kids I am always astounded at the size disparity between them. It makes sense to me that they would start noticing that in utero. They can't all grow at exactly the same pace, surely. Hopefully it's just a blip in the chart and everything works out fine. Just yesterday I had a client in her 20's whose mother was told to abort her on the basis of a medical test that showed something was wrong. Not one but two doctors tried to talk her into it, followed by her own mother. She refused and her daughter was PERFECT. Don't give up
