More than likely everything is fine. There are a lot of reasons you might be measuring smaller. The baby could have shifted, you could have 'dropped'.

It amazes me that the doctor didn't mention any of these other possibilities, instead has you all concerned over something that is quite likely nothing to be worried about.

At least you get another ultrasound!

Hi 314 mandy,

I just got back from the doctor, same thing has happened to me I am also at 38 weeks, dr said baby hasnt grown much in 2 weeks, but it could be due to the fact baby is very low and has no room to grow I am having my ultrasound next week for growth, do you have any updates as i am nervous too.
