Baby measuring small?

Question

So I had my 20 week anatomy scan yesterday at 20 weeks and 2 days, and baby’s measurements were all measuring 19 weeks 6 days to 20 weeks 6 days but they said she’s measuring in the 12th percentile. She was measuring at roughly 10.5 ounces which makes her in the 12th percentile. Anyone else have something similar with a good outcome? Didn’t have this issue with our first but at birth she was 7 pounds and the tech and the doctor both just said, “maybe you just make small babies”. Please help calm my nerves

Answer

Same here! Had my anatomy scan at 20 weeks exactly and said baby was measuring at 19 weeks and 1 day, weighing in at 290g (which is just over 10oz) and putting her in the 17th percentile. But my doctor said not to worry because in the second trimester, they grow at all different times and dating can become less accurate as the baby grows. They didn't seemed concerned at all with how I or the baby was growing. It definitely concerned me at first too!

Answer

As long as baby is growing and has a steady heartbeat there’s really nothing to worry about. My son was small too 6lbs9oz at birth 38 weeks. He is tall and skinny now lol only 2 years old but he plumped up very quick the first year

Answer

Dont stress!! Babies all grow at their own pace. Baby may hit a little growth spurt in the womb and become a large baby. There's still 20 weeks to go. Even if baby measures small, she may just be a petite girl. And untrasounds arent 100% accurate on measurements.  She will be perfectly 💕 dont worry!

Answer

These are just measurements. It’s impossible to get a for-sure measurement via ultrasound that’s why it’s just an estimate. I would not worry. ❤️ 
They tell a lot of people that their babies are small/big and the babies come out just the opposite. As long as baby is healthy, try not to stress. ❤️

Answer

We had our anatomy scan today and my daughter was 10 oz.  Per my missed period and dating scan I am 19 weeks 5 days.  The doctor said the babies don’t really start putting on the weight until after 30 weeks so her size right now isn’t a concern.  Everything is measuring normal on track within 5 days of my due date 🤷🏻‍♀️  (he said they hope for within 7 days of the due date)
