Anyone elses baby measured small but all was ok. Midwife worried and sending me for scan in the morning.

[devotion]

Hello
I went for my 28 week scan this afternoon and my midwife was worried about my baby only measuring 25 weeks. She said I need to have a scan tomorrow morning to check everything is ok with the baby and placenta. I am really worried now and hope the baby is ok. My friends little boy jumped on my stomach and winded me a few weeks ago. I felt sick for a bit but was ok after with no pain or bleeding/fluid etc so assumed I was fine. Lots of peoples toddlers jump on their bumps and I heard how protected your baby is... trying to convince myself here. Anyone else had this experience only to have a scan to show nothing is wrong? Could I just be having a small baby. My other two were good sizes so would the baby be small. I have a hearty appetite and dont drive so i probably do too much walking and my job is quite pysical but everything is teh same as my last pregnancy... so why would this be any different?

Hi, reading your message makes me think of my own situation. My baby is also measuring small... approx 4.51bs at 34 weeks... apparently he's about 2.5 weeks behind in weight. But like you he's moving around a lot!! and his heartbeat is fine... he also kicks quite a bit!
At first I was really worried but now am just coming to the conclusion that he is just going to be a small baby. I was only about 5.5lb. I'm also only 5.2" so I'm hardly going to have a giant for a baby. Have another scan week 37 so fingers crossed all ok & he's put some weight on!!

good luck
