Hope this helps. Someone I know is giving birth in a couple wks and she was measuring a couple wks early. In other words she is 36cm when she should be 38cm. So they freak out and the doc ran all these tests. But the baby was completely healthy and growing at a good rate. The doc told them that every pregnancy is very different and that is just a guideline they go by. If everything turns out ok and nothing hurts, dont worry about it.
