Throughout my pregnancy, I have been
measuring perfectly up til my last doctors
appointment, I was a week behind (i am 36
wks). My doctor doesnt seem concerned.
Will this mean my baby will be smaller at
birth? Should I request an ultrasound?
I am worried!

It could just mean your baby is low down
cuz when I went for my 33 week I measured
35 becuase he was all up at the top. Then
a gain they told me he would b big so...
Dont worry tho if your baby is a lil small
she or he will b easier to push out! Lol

Sometimes little one conceals himself well
inside the womb. And my measurements
aren't really stable too I used to measure
a lot smaller during first trimester. Now
i'm measuring 2 weeks ahead of little
one's gestational age.In some cases some
women just have smaller little ones but
theyre perfectly healthy if your doctor's
not worried about it then probably the
measurements isnt that far behind.

I'm at 27 weeks and i'm measuring 29.
I've consistently measured 2 1/2 weeks
ahead. The nurse I spoke with said they
measure to see how the baby's developing
but that it really doesn't mean anything
because I could simply have a large baby.
It won't necessarily affect my due date
or baby's health in any way. Seems kind
of pointless to me after learning that.

My measurements went down, that's due to
the bay's head being down. Also called
"lightening" or having the baby "drop
down". It means she or he is practicing
the escape route position. My baby has
been head down for 3 weeks. I've only
gained 22lbs, and am 37, almost 38 weeks
along. The doc says 7 1/2 pounds give or
take.
I was 6 lb 5 oz. My husband had to make
me freak the other day by telling me he
was 10 lbs! Chances are the baby is fine,
and weight is normal. Have you had a
ultrasound lately? I got one at 8 months,
which was routine from what I understand.
They can guage the weight from that.
