Baby Measuring Small? 💙

Question

I had my ultrasound yesterday at 35 +3 and it was supposed to be my last until my due date June 13th but my OB said he was measuring in the 17th percentile at 4lb 9oz and now I have to come in once a week to have an ultrasound to check his growth and she might have to induce me.. Has anyone else had experience with this? Or a similar situation? I'm just really curious how it turned out. 😊

Answer

Yeah same!!! Concerns started around 26w been to the high risk doctors several times. They said as long as she stays the same and doesn't lose weight and my cord flow looks good then they will continue to moniter us.

I think she will just be petite. My mom is Japanese and all the woman in my family at short and skinny. My mom is the "biggest" and "tallest" for the women in her family and she is 5ft 2in and weighs 135. So I'm not too worried.

Answer

Yes. I had to have an ultrasound to check the growth. My baby is in the 15th percentile. Today my doctor said that the 15th percentile is nothing to be worried about. He said at this point if it goes down to the 3rd percentile then it'd be a problem but he doesn't think it'll go that low. Normally they don't want it below the 10th but even at this point 10th would be fine. He said my baby will be 6 1/2 to 7 pounds and he'd rather that than a 9, 9 1/2 pound baby.

Answer

My little girl is in the 18th percentile and the doc said as long as she's growing there is nothing to worry about! She is putting on weight and I also need to go once a week for an ultrasound. I am currently 35 weeks and 4 days and she is 5.2 pounds. Doc said she will be 6-6.5 pounds at most.  Nothing to worry about just going to be a little peanut (as was I and still am) No worries momma! Little one will be fine 😃

Answer

Take what they say with a pinch of salt. My baby is on the small side but dont let them push you into anything as long as the baby is still putting on weight thats all that matters

Im not letting anyone induce me all the time she is gaining weight

Answer

I don't have much advice because I'm going through a similar situation. :( Will keep you and your little one in my thoughts. :)
