I am almost 33 weeks and my baby is on the smaller side... I think my doctor said 12th percentile? However they did say she is healthy and developmentally fine. From this point on I have to have ultrasounds and stress tests every week... I am on the thin side and I'm 21, I wonder if it could be because I am small myself. I can't help but to feel like it's my fault... God I love her so much.
@deiona_mom2b16, yes she weighs 3.6. but all her measurements were "perfect". I'm about 33 weeks...I thought 3.6 would be average for now but I'm in the "12th percentile ". I gotta start going in for both tests every week but as for now told not to worry...
try not to worry as long as baby is active did they order an ultrasound to see exactly how much she weighs?
No problem i still cry today thinking about all of it it's truly a life changing experience. Carrying low is usually when the baby is getting into position for when he/she is ready to come. Thats when you know your getting closer and closer to the bug day.
@lanimommy, aw thank you for your experience girl, that like made my preggo ass cry lol... does carrying low have anything to do with it ? ultrasound showed baby is head down low in my pelvis...no wonder I pee like a seahorse lol
Once you start test done more frequently they will find out why your baby is small.. I went into pre term labor at 5 months after that it felt like i was getting smaller and my belly was getting lower i kept telling people that nobody suspected anything till my last appt at the specialist my baby went from being right on track to being at 5 percentile in a matter of weeks being at 6 1/2 months and them admitting me into the hospital for complete bedrest and of course for any first time mom its scary as hell i was there for a few day with regular monitoring and one day they said lets just see what the baby was up to and did an ultrasound and thats when they noticed my placenta had stopped working and i had a little bit of fluid in my sack they called an emergency c section an hour later i had an 2lb 1.5 ounce fiesty little princess.... Moral to this long post is dont be discouraged you know you have to stay strong and fight for tour baby because your baby is fighting as well.. Everything will be fine momma
I think my baby is about that im small too
