Baby Measuring Behind

So I just went to the doctor for my 34 week appointment and since my 12 week appointment they have told me that my baby was measuring small. They’ve always said that she was about 2 weeks behind but that they would stick with the initial due date from my 6 week ultrasound.

Well today I didn’t see my regular doctor I saw a nurse practitioner and she was concerned that my stomach was measuring @ 31 weeks instead of 33.4 weeks as it should. So she wanted to do an ultrasound. After the ultrasound she consulted with a MD and came back and told me that they want to send me to a specialist because of my baby size. I freaked out. Then she started talking about how if the baby wasn’t growing properly they would have to induce me. I’m so scared and I don’t understand why this is happening. I’ve gained 30 lbs yet my baby isn’t getting the weight or nutrients.
