Baby measuring small. Worry?

Question

So I had my anatomy scan today. I’m 21 weeks today based off date of conception and LMP..but  my baby was measuring 19w6d according to her measurements. I was told I had to get a call from my Ob and when I did she said I’d be seeing a high risk doctor instead of her for my next appt. ugh any other moms have experience with this? Not sure if I’m worrying for nothing as I was told ‘all your questions will be answered with the high risk doctor Monday’ when I asked anything.

Answer

My baby has been progressively getting further behind. She only measured in the 8th percentile offically giving her the label of "Small for Gestational Age". I am already at a high risk doctor. She told me it could be something wrong or it could be nothing. She is going to keep an eye on it and in the mean time I need to eat like crazy.

Answer

My daughter measured 2 weeks behind my whole pregnancy with her and she was fine, just small. I even had to have growth scans weekly from 34 weeks to delivery. She ended up being the same size as her brother at birth. I just make small babies.

Answer

Well, I measure a week ahead & nobody cares - - you're only a week behind, so that doesn't seem like that big of a deal but obvi I'm not a Dr. Are you & your SO petite people? My friend's baby was always really small in utero & after birth (she's like 5 now)-- like 5th %-- but my friend & her husband are both small so it's to be expected, & she's perfectly healthy.
