Small babies??

Question

Has anybody been told their baby was measuring weeks behind? The doctor told me I was measuring two weeks behind but I'm pretty sure about my dates. He said the baby was at 20 + 2 but I should have been right at 22.........

Answer

My son was in the 50th percentile at his anatomy scan, my fundal height was always behind by a week or two, and both of my midwives told me he would be a maximum of 7 lbs. 
Guess who pushed out a 9 lb baby? 😐

Answer

My daughter was lagging about 2 weeks behind at a 31 week growth scan, turns out I had placenta issues caused by my gestational hypertension. Baby was growing but slowly, she lagged further and further behind until at 36 weeks she dropped below the 10th percentile (about 4+ weeks behind) and was diagnosed with IUGR. I was induced at 37 weeks because of this, she was born at 5lbs even so she is a peanut but she was and still is totally healthy, just tiny. No NICU time.

Answer

I'm measuring 34/35 weeks but doctor says I am 37 weeks (38 this Friday). I was fairly small when I was born so she could just be little in there. But doctors measurements are just an estimate
