Baby measuring a few days behind!?

Question

I went to my appointment on Friday and the baby is measuring a few days smaller than the doctor estimated. I know they go based off your LMP but I’m curious If anyone else is or has experienced this?

Answer

It’s very normal for baby to measure a little behind or ahead, I think it’s really only a concern if you are measuring a week behind. 
Nothing to worry about!

Answer

Doctors and nurses say that they expect it to be off by a few days. It's actually rare to measure right on due date anymore; quote from nurse. 
I wouldn't worry. If it is a week or more then you may need to worry.

Answer

My cycle is irregular... Glow had me at 9w2d and the doc put me at 8w2d. No worries.

Answer

According to glow I was 1 week further than I actually was. This was because I ovulated late. Same with my first. With my first I started measuring 2 weeks ahead consistently and baby ended up being normal at 8lbs 1oz.. a few days, even a week shouldn't be much concern.

Answer

I’m about 10 days late from my LMP. Doctor was not concerned at all. My cycles are a bit longer and I ovulate later so not a big deal. As long as everything is progressing normally you are good!

Answer

I had two ultrasounds back to back days (long story) and the dating was days off between the two (measured 4 days behind the first day, only one day behind the 2nd). Dating is based on a rough size measurement and not something to stress over!

Answer

I'm 1w4d behind and my doctor wasnt concerned. We just think I probably ovulate way later in my cycle.

Answer

Yup! My baby measured 8 days smaller, so they adjusted my due date. It's pretty common and they typically only adjust the EDD when it's greater than a week's difference
