So my doctor made an apt to do a sonogram because I was measuring 31 weeks and I was 34 weeks. Well I went to that apt, and she is measuring two weeks behind. I'm 36 weeks tomorrow and she's only 4lbs 11oz. My doctor then told me that she wants me to come in twice a week. On Monday she wants to do a stress test and monitor the baby's heartbeat.. I asked if I should be worried and she said I shouldn't not be worried... What do you ladies think?
they said the same about my daughter as far as measurements. she measured on track up until I was like 34 weeks, then she was falling behind. they did two NST scans but I also had signs of pre-hypertension so they induced me early. they told me at 36 weeks and 3 days that I was going to be induced the following week. that same day I had one NST scan, then a few days later had the second one. the following day I was being induced. if you aren't showing signs of anything else other than low birth weight, I'd say they'll just do those NST scans to monitor is all. 🤗
@jessicarose0602, did they want to monitor you twice a week? Or did they want to do any stress test? I don't want to worry, but the way they acted at the apt just has me questioning wether I should or not. They said something about her belly and her head not measuring up or something like that.
don't worry. my baby girl measured small at 36 weeks. the ultrasound tech said she only weighed about 5 lbs 7 oz. I had her at 37 weeks 4 days and she actually only weighed 5 lbs 1 oz. she was really small but my daughter was really healthy and came home 2 days after I had her. try not to stress mama!! I know how scary it can be though to hear this kind of news.
Thank you ladies! I'll try and keep my head up ☺️ @ginnalynn @jessicarose0602 @newlywedmama21
