Question

My blood pressure has been good. I'm not swelling. My labs look good and I feel good.  I just had an ultrasound and they say she is measuring small. I know they can be off by a lot. My dr wants to induce me now. Helllllppp!!! My baby is doing well.  She's not in distress. Heart rate, oxygen and everything else looks good. At 32w at my last growth ultrasound and she was 4lbs then now I'm 37w5d and they're saying 6lbs1oz but this is a different ultrasound and tech.

Answer

Has the doctor explained more beyond baby is small? 
When I was pregnant with my first, we found an issue with where the umbilical cord was attached to the placenta at my 20 week ultrasound. Had to have another at 32 weeks to make sure he was growing well. He was right on track so I didn't need early intervention but my doctor told me that if he wasn't, there was a chance that the cord wasn't doing it's job and could cause stillbirth so I might need them to take the baby out early.

Answer

I’d get a second opinion

Answer

Baby is in the 28th percentile and doing really well. His only concern was that the us tech said she was 2wks behind on growth but we all know that can be off

Answer

This sounds exactly like what happened with me. I have marginal cord insertion so that may have something to do with her being a little small, if she is indeed small. But everything is fine. I refused the induction I just have to come in for a NST and ultrasound every couple days to monitor by blood pressure and the baby. I'm happy with that
