Measuring too small

Hi, i just need a confidence boost because ive spent all night in tears worrying.
I had an 18 week private gender scan last thursday and on the scan photo the measurements was 11.7cm which is what he was at 16 weeks but the sonographer said everything was okay. I measured my stomach tonight and found it was the EXACT same measurements as when I measured at 16 weeks and im 19w1d today. At the scan i saw the heartbeat and she said the baby was moving around, so why is he still measuring small and why is my stomach and our baby not growing? Is he okay?
Thank you x

I have had a tiny bump my whole pregnancy, I know how easy it is to worry about it.
I'm currently 31 weeks but bump is only 26 weeks! Growth scans are showing she is on 10th percentile, so she's small but perfectly healthy.
I am tall so she has more room to hide and DP was a very small baby at 5lb 5 oz, so all these things can play a part. Hasn't stopped me worrying each time I have a scan though!
When is your 20 week scan?

I hope he's just a small baby, his dad is really tall and im not short or tall so im hoping he just is a small boy haha. I went to the doctors and he said he could just be small, or he could have been 3 weeks big. My 20 week scan is next friday but it seems so far away and im so scared they'll tell me somethings wrong x

I wouldn't worry unless they tell you otherwise I measured 2 and a half weeks behind with my son he was 6lbs 9 Oz at 2 days over due so this can be normal I'm 37+4 now and measuring 1 and a half weeks behind
