My small baby..

Maria • First time mom of a much awaited baby boy!

I love reading your stories, concerns and thoughts here, but i was kinda reluctant to post something myself...i’m 34weeks preggo with a baby boy and in my last 2 appoint. I was told he is measuring small..one month ago was p 30% and this week he measured in de percentile 13%... i had no issue what so far, baby ticked all milestones until i hit 30 weeks..i was even measuring further until now. all bloodtests look ok, down syndrom test came out negative, my blood pressure, temperature ok..i get my vitamins, i dont smoke and drink and i consider eating pretty healthy.. i was always a skinny person ( 53 kg and 1m66cm) so i did not expect to gain too much weight, nor to have a super big belly... it annoys me so much being told i have a small belly to the point where eyes get full of tears and i can barely refrain from crying( this is also one of the reasons i dont want maternity photos..i dont even take photos of myself at home😓)...Gyn sent me for fetal monitoring with the midwife twice a week and i will have another appoint with the gyn in 2 weeks to assess growth..in case baby doesn’t catch up as he should, i might get induced.. Hearing that...it broke my heart and i cannot think of anything else since...there is a chance for baby to be simply small..there is a chance that measurements are not that accurate..i know..but i am dependent on what doctor sees and says..anyone going through the same? How did/are you handle(ing) it? I feel i am failing...😣
