I am 36 weeks today and baby is small in size as per scan results weighs 1.8 kg. Drs said they gonna do other scan in two days and most probably they will deliver next week, it’s our first baby- any advice suggestions or comments are welcome. 🙏

Praying everything ok. But why deliver early if baby is small? Wouldn’t they want the baby in longer ?

I’m currently going through the same thing. My baby had been measuring borderline small since 21 weeks but was still continuously growing so I was ok and they just monitored me every month with ultrasounds. Everything was fine until last week when he dropped down to the 11th percentile. At 34 weeks he was estimating to be 4lb 7oz. Because of this I’ve been going twice a week for NST and ultrasounds to monitor him. They told me they will also most likely deliver between 37-38 weeks. I’ll be 36 weeks Sunday. Unfortunately I don’t have any advice but to trust that your doctors are doing the right thing because that’s what I’ve been doing. Try taking it easy because stress definitely doesn’t help which is easier said than done believe me. The good news is they caught it and they have a plan in action. That’s what I keep telling myself. I’m sure everything will be just fine for both of us! Good luck to you and congratulations and know you’re not alone! Prayers to you❤️

I’m not sure how it works where you are, I’m 37weeks+5 & my baby girl was on the low side of average. She weighs 5lb 5oz they booked me in for induction on Tuesday, I’ll be 38+1 x

When making decisions in birth I refer to this acronym: B - Benefits R - Risks A - Alternatives I - Instinct N - Nothing Whatever happens it's a useful reference. Hopefully it can help you when it comes to this? The best of luck x
