Lol your not a whale!! My babys just under growth or something I think. My doctor said its 4-6 inches long, and on the chart it says it should be 10 1/2 inches long, so I think shes just short. I know im only a couple days ahead of you...When you went for your u/s how long did they say your baby was? Cause I think mine should be the same, shouldent it?

When I had my ultrasound a little over 2 weeks ago they said he was about 10.25 inches long and a little under 6 inches "from crown to rump". Reading your other post I was thinking maybe that's what they were talking about with yours.

They measured his legs but they told me the thing they were concerned about most was how his organs are developing so the "crown to rump" thing is what my dr was most interested in. Of course the main thing I think I feel is his legs. :lol:

So the chart that says a 22week old unborn baby should be 10 1/2 inches long is "crown to rump"?

...Since the legs arent added till later on, according to jessa...

Right?

Ok, so my baby is roughly 10.9 inches long
4-6 inches "crown to rump"

so apparently my doctor did add the legs.

I just didnt know what the 4-6 stood for, thanks krista :):):)

Your picture is cute. I can't believe your belly is still so small.
