Anyone else had baby growing under 10th centile?

Question

Worried after scan yesterday

Answer

I had a scan at 27 weeks and the doctor said baby was small and wanted to check her growth in a few weeks. She was around the 10th percentile. When I went back at 30 weeks, she was in the 30th percentile. All babies grow at their own rates. I was worried, but really try not to stress.

Answer

My baby is in the 6th percentile. Seems like everything is ok though. The doctor just wants to monitor more often for safety. She thinks she's just going to be a small baby. I am still worried, but I know as long as she is moving a lot and with the weekly checks, I'm a little more at ease.

(30 weeks + 1)

Answer

My baby girl is only 2 pounds at 30 weeks. She has good chord flow and her organs are developing perfectly! She's just a little one. The doctor told us today she will be taken between 35-37 weeks.

Answer

Some people just have small babies and it's nothing you did and doesn't mean anything is wrong with the baby. As long as the baby looks good anatomically and the Dr is too worried, but he is keeping a closer eye on you and baby, I wouldn't worry about it. Sometimes babies just decide to stop growing or grow slowly. Throughout this whole pregnancy our boy has been pretty much spot on as far as size and then last month he measured 2 weeks ahead. Then this week, he's measuring just a week ahead. Babies have slow and fast grow rates and yours might hit a spurt and catch up.

My biggest advice would be, don't worry about your baby unless and/or until the Dr tells you to worry about the baby. Until that happens, just enjoy her/him! You'll have then in your arms soon!

Answer

My little lady is in the 20th percentile. However, I am petite so there's no surprise there!
