Q: Babies Size!

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!

Doctors allow /-2 weeks, so being a week behind is really no big deal. At my 31 week appointment a few weeks ago I was measuring a couple weeks ahead (i think I was at 34) and the doctor said it was nothing to worry about either. So don't worry, everthing is fine.
