Small babies ?

Question

My son is measuring at less than 1 percentile he’s only 2 lbs 8oz at 33 weeks. Getting induced at 37 weeks. Anyone else had small baby?

Answer

My baby is in the 11th she’s 4 1/2 lbs I’m 35 weeks, we are still determining when we might induce, good luck mama!!

Answer

Yes I just had my son at 37 weeks due to IUGR. 
He was 5lbs7oz when born and is currently 5lbs3oz he had a rough time getting oxygen at first and needed c-pap for a few minutes after birth. He has 2 hr blood sugar checks fir the first 48 hours until he could regulate it. He has failed his car seat test twice so he is most likely coming home in a speacial needs car seat bed.

Answer

I do also I am 34 weeks and 5days today and my baby boy is only 4lb and when did you frist find out you're baby is small I haven't been able to get to much information only from having chat like that?

Answer

Are they doing weekly sonograms to check growth? I’m surprised they’re waiting that long. Look up IUGR. My first was 2lbs 9 oz when she was born at 33 weeks. They thought she was actually going to be 4 lbs and that was small to them so they got her out so she could thrive. Best of luck! If you haven’t done so please get a second opinion from a high risk doctor.

Answer

Thats really small, but the techs can sometimes be wrong. My first son was measuring about 7/8lbs and he was born 6lbs 8oz and Im curious to see what happens with this on who is measure 5lbs

Answer

My first baby was ‘measuring small’, they told me around the 6lb mark at 37 weeks, he was actually 5lb 4oz born at 40 weeks. No issues at birth and a normal labour despite a lot of worry once they gave me the ‘small’ info.
My second baby was 6lb 4oz and again I was told she was ‘measuring small’, again all fine. 
My advice would be to remember that sonograms are not accurate at measuring your babies weight. Look at the other info they get like fluid, cord and placenta and if they are all fine don’t be pushed into doing something like induction which may be totally unnecessary.
I am pregnant with number 3 and if none of these things are problematic I will be saying no thank you to any intervention until I am significantly overdue.
