Baby measuring small?

Question

So I had my 36 week appointment today & my doctor measured my belly & he said that I will need to have an ultrasound next appointment bc the baby is measuring kind of small. He didn’t really sound too concerned. Should I be worried about it? My belly isn’t very big either so I feel like it’s maybe just hard to tell by them measuring my belly

Answer

They measure your fundal height throughout pregnancy (from top to bottom of your uterus) to identify POSSIBLE growth issues since most women only get 2 or 3 ultrasounds during gestation. They don’t actually know how baby is measuring until they do the growth scan that they ordered, the fundal height just prompts them to double check with an ultrasound when they otherwise wouldn’t need to. So it’s possible baby is absolutely perfect, maybe slightly below the 50th percentile but growth isn’t a concern unless they measure under the 10th percentile. All in all, they can’t tell until the ultrasound is done so try to stay calm and wait for the scan. 😊

Don’t stress yourself. This got me too at 28 weeks. 
A good tip I got was “are you eating enough?” I was not. 
You might want to find out if your are eating the right foods. What helped for me was the Mom-to-Be shacks. I drank it at night, the amount of protein really helped my baby grow. 
She grow about 300g within the first week and keep going strong. 
She is currently 3.2kg at 39 weeks. 
But do find out from your Socorro if you should eat more but also keep a log of your foods and decide for yourself if you are eating enough for yourself and the baby.
