I think my daughter is growing fine length-wise, but is just having trouble putting on weight. Her head is in my crotch and her feet are at the top of my ribcage, so she's at least 15inches long! However the "normal" weight for 33weeks is like 4-4.5lbs and the tech yesterday said that she's probably between 2lb10oz and 3.5lbs at most. 😕😕 I eat right and I'm gaining the weight, my belly is getting bigger, she just won't grow! 😩 At least we'll get to see her a lot now, have to do BPP weekly now and get biweekly growth ultrasounds to make sure she makes progress.

She could just be small! My middle one weighed 5.15 at birth and she was 3 days late.

@jenn61115 she's most likely gonna be small, that's for sure. however she weighed 2lb11oz at our last ultrasound 4 weeks ago, and at this point she should be putting on almost half a pound a week and she isn't gaining anything really, so my doctor is a little concerned. 😕 I feel like it's my fault somehow even though I know I'm doing everything I can do. She might just be out of room.

She could be out of room but the ultrasounds aren't always correct! My last one was weighing 8ish pounds at her last ultrasound 35-37 weeks and she weighed 7.4 at 39 weeks 2 days when she was born. It's not your fault! She could be one of those kids that eat and eat and eat and never gain any weight.
