Measuring small

[whenhenshaveteeth]

I'm 28wks and when the MW measured me today I was way below the lower threshold - I don't feel particularly small but it has me worried now. She referred me on to have a growth scan soon.

Has anyone got any similar experience? Was it all ok in the end? Could it be due to the way the baby is lying?

Thanks x

At my 29 week mw app my bump was measuring small, she done a scan and everything was fine, everyone is different and measures differently but I was fine.

Hope everything's okay for you but try not a worry. Xx

Oh I should add that I'm 32 weeks now, and was at community mw last week and I'm still measuring small but I'm small 5"2 and only 9 and a half stones.

To quote her, "were not expecting a big baby from you"

Hope this helps and sorry for loads of posts lol x

i had a growth scan for both of mine apparently its due to me being tall and having more room internally for them to grow first.

my dc's where average weights and long, don't worry I'm sure it will be ok.

Thanks for the reassuring everyone. I've got a growth scan in a couple of weeks to check that baby is ok. x

Both mine measured small and I had an extra scan about 32 weeks. Turned out they were both well packaged as DS1 was 7lb 8oz and DS2 was 7lb 12oz. Fingers crossed.

I measured small, DS was small on growth scans and was then smaller then expected when born 5lb 11oz at nearly 39 weeks. But perfectly OK.

I was the opposite way round - MW said I was measuring spot on for dates (30wks), consultant said I was far too big and he 'd scan me. Scanned me a few days later and bubs is perfect size. To be honest, he was starting his measurement from parts that have got nothing to do with bump!
