Baby Measuring 2 weeks Behind! Should I be worried?

Question

My calculations say October 8th. However, with my 34 week 5 day ultrasound baby weighed in at 4lbs 8oz and smaller than the average fetus at that age. Ultrasound Tech saying due date Oct 16th. Dr. Sending me for a stress test this Sunday. It's kind of stressing me out. Ugh

Answer

At my 20 week ultrasound baby was measuring a week behind. But my son was small too. Some of us are lucky enough to have smaller babies, no complaint here!! :) I'll take that 6 lb baby over the 9 lb any day!!

Answer

My baby girl is also measuring a bit behind 1-2 weeks. They checked her fluid and she's a little low but I've been doing stress test every week and she's doing great I go back Thursday and I'll be having another scan to check fluid and growth. That being said my las baby was born 38.3 weeks and she was 5.13lbs so she's was small but healthy I guess my baby girls are just prone to be born smaller. But as long as your doc is keeping up with you it should all work out and don't worry so much about the weight.

My peanut was measuring 2 weeks behind at my 33wk appointment. Went in for a growth US and she's only in the 18th percentile. They said she weigh 4lb 4oz at 33 weeks. I really don't trust us weight measurements though. They can be off by up to a pound.

Wed I'll be 35 weeks so they are going to recheck. Hopefully she grew some.

Answer

My baby is also two weeks smaller. Nothing to worry about, just gotta keep an eye on it. For me, it's because my placenta isn't functioning correctly. I might need to deliver at 39 weeks.

Answer

Answer

I'm measuring 2 weeks behind too! My doc is not worried she said it was my abs holding him in tight (I'm athletic and swim everyday) Also my babe is measuring 5lbs8oz so a pretty good size! 23 more days and I meet my little man!

Answer

I'm 37 weeks today and on Wednesday she was measuring only 33 weeks at 4lbs 13oz. I'm only 4'8 and my first daughter born at 39 weeks barely weighed 5lbs 1oz. I'm going for the stress test this Friday but it all depends on your body.

Answer

Was told my baby's abdomen was measuring small. Weighed 4lbs 7oz at 33 weeks 4 days. Head and Limbs were measuring on track. Was told baby is either skinny or having growth restriction. So now I need to have ultrasounds every week. After 3rd week they'll make a decision if they'll take him early.

Answer

My baby is also measuring small (but I'm not sure about behind??). I had to go to a specialist at 30weeks because they said her head was so small which scared me to death. Now they say she's "normal" just on the smaller side. Still worries me. She's also breech so I don't have any of the pelvic pressure or anything that other ladies have and I just feel like she's never going to come out 😣 I have to go back on the 20th for yet ANOTHER scan, just trying to stay positive.... Hoping all will be ok with you and your bub!
