Anyone else have tiny babies?

Question

Growth scan today at 34 weeks 5 days and baby is measuring at 3lbs 13 oz. No underlying cause except genetics. I'm petite and my daughter was tiny too. Anyone else have little bitty babies?

Answer

I wish this was the case for me! I'm small at 5ft, but my baby boy is measuring two weeks ahead and now weighs 7.5lbs at 37.5 weeks per my ultrasound. I feel like there is no way my belly can get any bigger and that he is about to just rip the skin open and come falling out that way.

Answer

My baby girl came at 40 weeks with 5lbs and 10 oz.

Answer

My first was really small for no discernible reason. She was born at 39 weeks at 5lbs 13 oz and perfectly healthy. Had to run out and get some premie clothes for her!

Answer

I am 36 weeks and my baby measured 5 pounds 15 ounces at this weeks ultrasound. I was also very worried all throughout this pregnancy because baby was always measuring a little behind. Dr always reassured me that baby is healthy but is still worries me

Answer

My first son was 5.7lbs 19in at 40 weeks so I’m assuming this baby will also be small, my weight and fundal measurements are the same this time around as well.

Answer

Yep, my baby is measuring 3 weeks behind but my dr isn’t worried because my husband and I are small and my older girls were small too!

Answer

My baby is small too since I am petite plus I have GDM which is not letting me gain any weight as I am portion controlled and making sure not to end up on insulin. 
At my 35+6 days growth scan I was measuring 25th percentile (2.3kgs approx) - currently I am 37+1 & my doctor said I would probably gain another 500gms before my scheduled c section on 3rd June at (39 weeks complete) since I have fibroids growing, history of endometriosis and PCOS with previous Myomectomy surgery it was risky to go for normal birth.
Don't worry even if it measures less it is going to gain weight once it is born. There are lot of factors like genes, body types, health conditions and cultural background which can impact the growth.
Have faith and everything will be ok. Good luck

Answer

My baby measured 4lb 12oz at 35+1. She does have known forearm deformities though and has been measuring small my whole pregnancy. It’s partially genetics and partially her condition - my husband and I are both small.
