Small baby ?

Question

I'm 34 weeks today and last week my baby girl only weighed a little over 3 pounds. Doctor said she was in 21st percentile. I'm getting nervous. This is my first baby. Any advice ?

Answer

Those can be wrong . Don't stess yourself

Answer

My OB said they would only monitor more closely if baby was under the 10th percentile. Those weight estimates can be very off-my cousin's was off by 2 full pounds!

Answer

With in a week my lo has dropped from 24th percentile to the 17th and they dont seem that worried just going to scan again on the 29th

Answer

I'm also a FTM and little girl was estimated to weigh 3lb 3oz at 34 weeks and in the ninth percentile. I have to have weekly scans to check up on her but other than her weight there is nothing medically wrong with her she's still developing and kicking away

Answer

I had an appt last week and my little man is only in the 25th percentile, but weighs 4.5lbs. Seems like a large size difference for such a small percentage change...

Answer

In the 2nd trimester I ate avocados, Greek yogurt and fatty acids foods every day no matter what.. my goal was my baby to have a healthy skin .. so far I'm 33+ weeks and she measures 2 weeks ahead on her weight so close to 5.7lbs already. 
Eventually try to catch up on healthy rich food and it might help.

Answer

I'm 34 weeks and my baby girl is only 3.5lbs I go to a high risk dr because she's small. Buts she's completely healthy

Answer

Thanks ladies. Feel a little better. ☺️

Answer

My baby has been considered small for over a month now. She's in the 4th percentile. I now have 4 appointments a week to keep a close eye on her.
