Measuring small.. anyone else?

Question

I'm 37 weeks and fundal height of 33 weeks. Is anyone else? I've asked for a scan but they've said no. I've also lost a heap of weight in the last week.

Answer

Yup same. Measuring like 34 weeks at 38 and idk why it’s like pulling teeth trying to get them to order an ultrasound 🙄 last time I got one was at 30 weeks ans she was within 43rd percentile so they’re sticking with that. Can’t help but worry a bit since I’m supposed to give birth soon and barely look pregnant some days. As long as she’s kicking and moving I guess 🤷🏽‍♀️ when was your last scan?

Answer

Very normal. Baby has dropped so the fundal height measurements won’t be accurate this late in the game. Don’t worry! Weight loss or a stop in weight gain is also normal at this stage. Try not to worry! I bet your chunky squishy baby is just cozied up in there!!

Answer

Me @38 weeks exactly

Answer

At my last appt 37 weeks, I was measuring 33/34 for fundal height. They sent me to get another measurement scan and baby girl is super low and not small at all (I have a very long torso) and she was already weighing 7lbs 6oz, so don’t worry too much as long as you still feel normal movement.

Answer

Yes baby was measuring in the 20th percentile at 34 weeks and they said they don’t worry until he is 10th or under. It scared me bc he was measuring 60th percentile then was 20th. They won’t do growth scans more than every 4 weeks so I’m having one again this week at 39 weeks.

Answer

I’m measuring small too, I’m almost 38 weeks and measured 36 but really it’s measuring low for me rather than small. It’s my 6th so baby sits a little lower in my pelvis because muscles are stretched out from having so many babies.
