Small babies??

Question

I found out this week from our 20 week US that our baby is SMALLLLLL like 12th percentile small. I’ve had two doctors tell me they aren’t concerned as baby looks healthy and well proportioned. Anyone else measuring small??? It’s so hard not to worry but as long as baby is healthy I am trying to just focus on the good stuff. Also going for another US in 2 weeks to see how baby is doing so hoping everything continues to progress well ❤️

Answer

My first was small and born in the 2nd percentile at 6lbs. Never had concerns from my provider team and she is still small at 18 months (11th percentile). The pedi reminds me that there has to be small babies and big babies. That's how they get these curves and percentages!

Answer

My first baby was born at 41 weeks and weighed 5lbs. She’s a healthy and skinny little thing now! Will be 4 in September 😀 
Don’t worry!

Answer

My baby is small too, you may have got your ovulation days off by a few days and the baby is really just a week behind. That’s what happened with me (even with a positive ovulation test) but they won’t change your due date

Answer

My firstborn measured as low as 13th percentile in ultrasounds. She was born early at 37 weeks and was a healthy 6 lbs, no NICU etc. and is a 2 year old in the 80th percentiles for height/weight
