So just had my appt for 37 weeks and I had been measuring right with my weeks, now I just measured 32 weeks. Why? I noticed my stomach has gotten smaller. I thought maybe I was just crazy but when the doctor (not my normal doctor, that's why I'm asking yall) measured me she said I was measuring quit a bit smaller @ 32 weeks.
my guess is that she measured you wrong, on my last visit when intern was measured me she get 33w, and my doc told her she have to be wrong bc 2w earlier I was 34w (and only way that you can be smaller is if you leaking,you may not getting bigger but you can't shrink-that is what my doc told me), so my doc measured me and she get 35,5w. Each doc have their own way to measure so if you are not leaking, I'll just wait for next visit and make sure that your doc will measures you . And when you dropping your belly is only changing shape but it's not shrinking
@kgreer, yeah I wasn't really concerned just kinda wandered why. But she isn't my normal doctor either. So the trust isn't really there. But, she checked everything and it was fine so didn't really bother me. Yeah I don't feel any pressure. But.. I see my doctor next week and see what he has to say! Thank you! I'm sure it's just the positioning of baby like you said.
If she didn't say much I wouldn't worry to much especially being as far along as you are. If you feel a lot more pressure down low I'm sure you've dropped
@kgreer, oh okay, I wasn't sure if that would make the measurements lower or not. And the doctor didn't say much besides she made me undress to make sure I hadn't ruptured the sac and was leaking amniotic fluid.
You probably dropped which makes your measurements go lower
Is it just my docs?
Idk why, but every time I go to the doctor they just check my blood pressure, weight, urine, baby's heartbeat, and send me on my way!
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Measurements
When your doctor measures your belly, do you ever measure smaller or bigger?
I had my 34 week check up today and I’m currently 34w4d, my doctor measured me at 32 weeks with the measuring tape should I be concerned cause the doctor sure wasn’t
@domena84, yeah that's what I thought about dropping, is that your stomach would just be a different shape but not smaller. I have been eating way better and working out more but still, in just 5 days there isn't any way I should be that much smaller. I see it measuring a little less if he has dropped but it shouldn't be by that much! I do feel like I got smaller! But yeah I'm gonna wait n see how my regular doctor measures me next week!
