"Small" baby at 20 weeks means small baby at term?

Question

My baby was measuring 5 ish days behind at our 20 week. Do you think this means he will be smaller when he is born? I want him to be helathy of course; but let's be honest, I will be pleased if he is on the smaller side...

Answer

I hope not or my baby is gonna be huuuugggeeee 😨 lol she's weighing about a week ahead in the 75th percentile

Answer

They are sometimes apx a week off just cuz they haven't hit the growth spurt yet or hit early... they have estimates on when they should be going threw the stages and sometimes it's a bit off.... as long as the baby is growing and seems healthy then things are ok. They would tell you if they were worried about baby's weight....

Answer

No, babies grow at different rates. My baby was 75% at 20w, 3% at birth lol.

Answer

Not always, sometimes they just have differently timed growth spurts.

Answer

Did they tell you how much your baby weighed?
