baby's weight

in 3rd Trimester
So I might be stressing a bit on this but my babygirl is measuring at 35 weeks the head,legs,and arms but her tummy is weighing at 38 weeks Dr said it doesn't mean anything is wrong with ths baby but it makes me so nervous since this is my first baby also I am 35 weeks. Has anyone had this happen to them as well?

    Ours was the opposite. At 36w her belly was measuring 32w and she was borderline for IUGR (12th% overall). She ended up being perfectly fine, she's just a peanut, measuring around 10-15th% since birth. If your doctor isn't worried about it I'd try to relax.

    My baby (at 38 weeks) is measuring 15th percentile and only 2.3 percentile in her waist. Doc says it's probably just because my husband and I are small, but did the fetal heart monitor and other tests and said everything is just fine! They know when things aren't right and know exactly how to monitor, so if your doc isn't worried you shouldn't either :)
