My first son ran small. They told me my entire pregnancy he was smaller than normal, that he likely wouldn't make it to 6 pounds even at 40 weeks. They eventually did a non stress test and decided to induce me at 36 weeks because he wasn't gaining weight properly and my fluids were low. He was 5lbs 5oz at birth and lost some weight afterwards landing him at 4lbs 11oz. But he was perfectly healthy and we got to go home the day after he was born! Some babies are just small :) Good luck! I hope everything goes well for you!

I'm scheduled for weekly NST as well. My little girl is 5.6 pounds so far, so I'm not quite sure if it's a regular thing my doctor does to all her patients or she's worried about something.

I'm definitely trying to stay positive ,it's good to hear similar stories with good outcomes . Thanks ladies 🙏🏽 @kimberlyyyy @madilynn16

Positive thoughts. I've gone through that twice. I had my first son on my due date & he weighed 5lbs 11oz which is actually bigger than my dad was and bigger than I was. Some babies are small. I had non stress tests for the last month of my first pregnancy. Consider it another way to bond with your baby.

I had to go through the same thing with my son. They said he had a growth restriction and could stop growing at any time. I was so nervous everyday and week until he was born. But he was strong he came early at 36 weeks and able to come home and not stay in nciu. Just think positive your baby will be okay.
