Question

I’m 29 weeks and 5 days and baby’s stomach is measuring small in the 11% tile also only weighting 2 pounds 11ounces... I’m trying not to worry but first time mom here 😅 has anyone experienced being told their baby’s stomach was smaller? What did they do?

Answer

I got a growth scan at 35 weeks since the fundal height was behind a few weeks. Baby was small, but abdomen was smallest. I had another US at 37 weeks and she was still small but in a less concerning range (overall size 15th percentile abdomen 7th percentile). Just had one last US today at 39 weeks and now she’s only 8th percentile overall and less than 1st percentile for abdomen. But she’s estimated to be 6 lbs 3 oz, which is within the normal range for weight so I don’t know how her percentiles could be more important than overall weight. Anyway, as a result I can’t have her at my birthing center but have to go to the hospital so that she can be monitored more during birth. She’s totally healthy and so are my placenta and cord blood flow. Since I’m 40 the ob suggests I be induced at 40 weeks.

Answer

Here soon you will gain more weight every time they have me a estimate of what baby was it end up being more as you get to 32 weeks or so you will pick up more
