measuring 4cm small for dates

[Jane054848]

Has anyone else had this big an anomoly? Really seems like a lot. I am nearly 37 weeks, measuring 33, and I am pretty sure that's what the midwife said I was measuring at my last apppointment 2 weeks ago - although she hasn't recorded a measurement in her notes.

Has anyone else been majorly too small and been TOTALLY FINE?

I have a scan booked in for next Monday, which is the earliest they could do it, but will be fretting my head off until then.

Thanks!

Hi i have to babies, first pregnancy i had major growth problem was in hosp twice aweek with my little boy was born he was 5lb7 and very healthy! With my 2nd i had my 28wk midwife app and was measuring 23.5 went for scan, baby was growing fine just crawled up, i had my little girl at 30+3 & shes fine even tho i was measurin so small she was a good weight for how prem she was. Midwifes measurements arent accurate :-) hope i helped, good luck

Curled up sorry

hiya

my measurements didnt change alot at some of the appointments i had. dont worry about them, there not accurate at all, and i was tiny when i was pregnant i was still in size 8 clothes at the end of my pregnancy, i looked like id just ate a big meal not pregnant lol, but my boy was born 12 days late and a perfectly healthy weight. we all grow differently. try not to worry about it, im sure your baby is a perfect size

thank you, very comforting!

I'm 40 weeks and have consistently measured 4cm under throughout the third trimester. I had a routine scan a few weeks ago which showed a good size baby. Fundal height is a crude measurement to show differences because you can't scan everyone everytime, so most of the time things will be down to your stomach muscles or how the baby is lying or whatever.

I measured 3-4cm small throughout the whole pregnancy and then had an 8 and a half pound baby, so it was not much water and the baby digging down, iyswim! x
