small baby?

Question

Anyone else having a small baby? My baby is lagging 8 days behind (maybe more when we go for our scan next week). I had this problem in my first pregnancy as well (2kgs). Up till now have only managed to gain 6 pounds by 26 weeks pregnancy

Answer

At my last appointment I was told my son is in the 45% percentile for weight at this point (I'm currently 26.5 weeks). The doctor said they like to see the percentile above 40% so even though he's not gaining a ton of weight he's still in a comfortable spot. I've only gained about 10 pounds so far. If the doctor isn't concerned about weight gain you're probably fine! It's hard not to compare to others but each pregnancy and woman is different.

Answer

My daughters head circumference and femur measurements are small, I was offered an amniocentesis that I turned down and they took some blood that Came back all fine. I was referred to a specialist for another scan who said that she's most likely just a small baby and I'll need follow scans at 30 and 34 weeks. Fingers crossed she's just a small bubba

Answer

With my first I gained 54 pounds and she was only 5lb 12oz when born at 38 weeks. My peanut. She had always measured small. My second I only gained 25 pounds and she was 7lb 14oz. I have a feeling I will gain 30 with this pregnancy. Praying to god I won't have a 10 pounder. 😬😬😬

Answer

At 24 weeks I was told my baby is in the 3-5th percentile and a few days ago I was told he's in the 14th-19th percentile. My specialist said he's not going to worry about measurements for a few weeks to give him time to grow but my cousin said everyone was worried her babies would be too small and both of them being about 8 lbs so we'll see. 🤷‍♀️
