Hi ladies!

I had a sonogram today. As of today, I’m 34 weeks along. My doctor informed me that my baby is in the 2nd percentile. Has been measuring around the 8th or 9th the past month or two. Now that he’s so small, they seem a bit worried but haven’t told me much.

They said that in two weeks when I go in, if he’s still in the 3rd percentile or lower, they’ll induce at 37 weeks.

Has anyone else coped with this? I’m not entirely sure what to think. I want to freak out because I’m scared for my baby, but I also want to stay calm to assure myself that everything will be okay.

Is there anything I can do to get this little dude to gain weight? I’ve been eating normally and I work on my feet around 35-40 hours a week. I can’t take time off before delivery, and I can’t cut my hours down because it’s just me and one other person until they hire a new person. I’m just so scared that I’m going to do something wrong and screw up the end of my pregnancy.
