Anyone else measuring small?

Question

This is the second time during my antenatal checkups that my fundal measurement (measuring my little bump) has been measuring a few cms behind.
At 28 weeks they referred me for a growth scan and it's happened again at 35 weeks! I'm only measuring at 32. Have my scan on Friday. Fingers crossed all is well in there and she's just hiding away.
I do have people point out to me a lot that my bump is small for how pregnant I am... the last scan though my baby was measuring perfectly average! Anyone else having this trouble? Just wish my bump would catch up with my baby so I wouldn't have this drama and worry!
UPDATE: just had a growth scan and she’s actually measuring 2 weeks ahead! I’ve gone from worrying she’s not growing properly to worrying I’m birthing a monster! Silly baby is playing tricks on us...

Answer

I’ve measured small this whole pregnancy! There’s only been one time where My fundal measurement was right on track- the rest of the time I’m 1-2cm behind. From everything I have read (and been told by my doctor), the final height is a pretty inaccurate way to measure the baby. There are so many different factors that can affect the measurements, so I wouldn’t worry too much, I’m sure your baby is just fine in there!

Answer

I've just measured small two cm behind but have low iron so we have a growth scan Saturday. We had one 3 weeks ago and she was measuring fine so hopefully no worries. But it still unnerves me each time!, x

Answer

I'm measuring big. Always 1 week ahead whereas my sister in law who is due 5 days before be has been measuring 3-5weeks behind Every time but everything is healthy and good! The reason she is measuring behind is because her uterus stretches more side to side rather than up and down. It's sideways! Lol plus her little  bundle of joy loves to be all curled up. My girl is always stretched out and moving so that's why I'm assuming she measures bigger.

Answer

I'm in the same boat, fundal height has been 2-3 cm behind the last few appointments and follow up growth scans show that she's small, but within average range as my OB likes to say. The tech noted that imaging was difficult due to feral position and GA, she measured at 5.11lbs at 35weeks. 15.7% percentile so I've just accepted that I'll have a small baby. I'll be 36+6 at my next appointment on Monday so we'll see how it goes!

Answer

I was small with my daughter last year. She ended up having IUGR and we had her at 37 weeks. She's still a little thing but she is perfectly happy and healthy! Best of luck to you! ❤️❤️

Answer

Yes, I'm measuring small too. My baby girl was in the 12% tile at 34 weeks. I'm now 36 weeks, 3 days and have another growth ultrasound next week. I'm not to concerned because all my kids have been small. I'm only 5'2 and 100lbs pre-pregnancy.

Answer

I’m in the same boat, bump is measuring small which meant Baby was in 13th percentile.
Had my growth scan and Baby actually measures in the 90th.
Small bump, big baby. 35 weeks tomorrow and Baby is already estimated at 6lb

Answer

Last time they measured my belly they said 28 weeks when I’m really 36 weeks. First ultrasound they said my baby was in the 12th percentile. But the second ultrasound he measured in the 26th percentile. Honestly I’m not even worried. We probably just have small babies lol it happens. Doctors are always trying to scare you.

Answer

Yes I just posted a similar post last week. At my 36+5 appointment I was measuring small. First time it happened in my pregnancy so my doctor scheduled a scan & I had it this past Tuesday at 37+5 weeks and all came back normal. Plenty of fluid around baby & she’s measuring Anna estimated weight of 6.5 lbs! Doctors seem to think it was just the way baby was positioned and because I’m just belly and I’ve always been a small person, so I’m just carrying small. Don’t worry about it too much mama.

Gurl I was 33 weeks measuring 28 and I had to go back...also my second pregnancy and my first I had to do the same thing...being im 36 weeks currently I'm still small and my OBGYN does an ultra sound when I go for checkups! But everything seems fine everytime I been checked...I think it's bc I carry low supposedly🤷🏽‍♀️
