Ladies I'm freaking out. Just been for my 40wk appointment and baby is only measuring 37wks. Need to go back tomorrow for a growth chart. Midwife didn't seem too worried as baby is moving fine etc but now I'm thinking all bad stuff that's wrong with her.
Anyone had this before so late into their pregnancy? 😥

I know exactly what you are thinking, I got told at 34 weeks that I'm measuring 31weeks and that she would check at my next appointment, it leaves you worried and feeling guilty, hope everything's ok, you could just be having a small baby :) xx @missy84

Try not to scare ya self, I was told this as well when I was 36 weeks, mine told me he hadn't grown at all for 2 weeks! But I knew she was wrong as I could feel he was much heavier, my clothes was tighter and I had been measuring my bump each week lol. So I had to go for a growth scan, even the sonographer said that this far along bubs could of moved down (he was pretty far down in the scan) etc and measuring ain't always accurate. He was 8lbs 3 when born and I only had a small bump so try not to worry xx

@x-t-x, thank you. I'm trying not to worry but can't help myself,I honestly just feel like crying.
They haven't mentioned growth scans,just the chart for now.
I'm hoping it's just her having moved further down. I'm rather tall so always had a small bump but there was never any concerns. This is not helping my anxiety 😑 xx

Just noticed your 40weeks, has your midwife only just started measuring ya bump then? Well your due any min now so my guess would be she's moved down and getting ready to make her appearance to see her mummy :) If your really worried phone up and speak to someone to put your mind at ease hun xx

@x-t-x, no I've always been measured but this is the first time she has measured small. Her measurements have always matched the number of weeks I was,it's only today that the midwife noticed that she's still measuring 37 which is what I was 2 weeks ago.

Same happened to me, ya bubs has prob just moved down more :) or curled up in different position. I was measuring first on middle line then above the top line for a few visits then apparently he hadn't grown 🙄 then we went for my growth scan who put me back down just above the middle line. So mine was never right my whole pregnancy lol everyone said how small my bump was but he was 8lbs 3 when born, he's now 11weeks and all ready been in 3-6month old clothes for the passed 3 weeks due to his legs being to long lol xx
