Measuring too small

Yea my doctor told me the same thing she so said that the baby was a low birth rate and all this stuff all because I was measuring small . I got worried but didn't let it get to me cause she told me 2weeks before me due date. I had my baby on September 5th and she was 7pds & 4oz don't get worried or stressed out about it ull be fine. If they really thought something was wrong they wouldve told u earlier in the pregnancy .

I was told this at 31 1/2 weeks. I also just had another growth ultrasound at 37 weeks 5 days. I am not 38 weeks. Baby measured 3.5lbs at my 31 1/2 week us and a little under 6lb as my 37 weeks 5 day us. They said baby is a average size, even though my daughters were both born at 38 weeks and weighed over 7lbs, but that he was long as well. There are more than one reason for baby to not measure right. My reason is his position. Another reason is not enough nutrition getting to him/her or low fluid.

I am measuring almost 3 weeks to small. The doctors have given me 3 Ultrasounds and i had my last one This past monday. He said nothing Looks abnormal and she is as healthy as can be with a strong heartbeat. Just tiny. Then again they cant tell you the length and weight Right on the dot. Only what they measure. At 33 weeks my babygirl weighed 3.10 pounds and thats from the measurments they took. They said they expect her to weigh from 5 to 6 pounds when born. It has me worried cause Thats so small And im already having problems, high blood pressure and Her already being so far down and Stuff. But next week they are taking me off of bed rest and meds and said im far along enough that if she comes they wont stop it and I have nothing to worry about. I believe them. They are the doctors.lol. But i wouldnt worry to much about it just wait and see. Each time They give a sono it will be different. When they did mine Her thigh could be 31 weeks and her stomach 32 weeks and her head 31 weeks and a few days. Just dont stress because I tell you it doesnt help anything. I promise

I did with my first. They told me he was tiny, I can't remember the length but they said he was only 5 pounds. He was born a few days later and he was 7lbs 11ozs and 22 inches long.
Babe can curl up really tiny in there and hide away, even from the sono. Also, the later in pregnancy you have one done the less accurate it really it.
Try not to worry about it.
