Baby measuring small?

Question

At 30 weeks 4 days baby is measuring 2 lbs 15 oz or 7th percentile. Only gained 4 ounces in 12 days 😔 I don’t see my doctor until after Christmas. Anyone else baby measuring small? Weight? Reasons? Trying not to worry 🙏🏻

Answer

My baby is measuring small compared to my last two at 29 weeks she was in the 22 percentile & at 24 wks she was at 19 percentile. My doctor recommended me to drink Ensure to see if the baby will get some gain out of it 😐 he wants her to be at least the same weight as her brothers were...

Answer

My baby has been measuring small this whole pregnancy too, I always measure about 2 weeks behind but doctor isn’t worried as long as baby has it’s own constant growth I wouldn’t worry either! Every baby is different! Plus your babies weight isn’t far off at all from the average size at that week of pregnancy so it sounds like baby is growing perfectly at his/her own pace☺️

Answer

30 weeks my baby was 2.14 pounds. Doctor said totally normal and around 40th percent. My app says 3lbs at 30 weeks is average.

Answer

My baby was measuring small at my 28 week growth scan, she was on the 10th percentile. I had to go back at 30 weeks for another growth scan and she had grown but was still on the 10th percentile, I had to have another doppler ultrasound at 31 weeks to check the fluid and blood flow from placenta to make sure she had enough reserves for the week, all looked normal so I had to have another growth scan at 32 weeks and she’d jumped up to the 50th percentile. Guess she was just waiting to have a growth spurt 😂 I don’t have to go back now for another 3 weeks to check again. I’ll be 36 weeks then. I’m in the UK so not sure if things are the same where you are but they’ll monitor you more closely if they think there’s something to worry about. I had to monitor the movements more closely, if baby’s movements reduced at all my doctor told me to phone them urgently, if she wasn’t getting enough nutrients from the placenta she would have been less active. Try not to stress, monitor your movements more closely and if you feel baby’s movements reduce at all go in and be seen urgently. Hopefully everything will be ok xx
