Any moms have a fetus whose abdominal cavity fell below the 10th percentile? What happened?

What's the growth look like overall? Is just the abdominal cavity that small

@worlds.okayest.mom head and femur measurements are within the 16-35% range so still normal. His weight had been 41% but now he dropped to the 31st since the last ultrasound. My measurements also stayed the same and I'm only measuring 29 weeks.

They were worried about my son being too small but I was told as long as his head was measuring ok that I shouldn’t be overly concerned. The head is the last place that get affected. My son was small but I’m not the biggest person. He was born at almost 38 weeks weighing 5 lbs.

@mswedes thanks! They told me if he doesn't grow in the next two weeks he is going to have to be delivered right away. I'm so scared!

@mct, I was told something similar. I drank boost during pregnancy to help add extra nutrients and stuff to my diet. I’m very petite so I feel like my son was just running out of space. I hope your baby has a huge growth spurt in the next few weeks!!

@mswedes thank you so much! I'll have to try boost!

@mswedes when you were drinking boost did you replace a meal with it or drink it in addition to your three meals a day? Just picked some up yesterday and want to do this right! I figure it's worth a try if it buys him some extra cooking time!

@mct, I’d have them as an extra snack to add calories and vitamins.
