Does everyone get a growth ultrasound? A couple of weeks ago that i was in the hospital they said he looked smaller than what he should be but said everything else was fine. At my last check up my Dr. said “small baby” and continued by saying i needed a growth ultrasound which I scheduled it for tomorrow... should i be worried??
I’m extremely small so it was no shock that my son was a smaller baby. If you’re smaller, I wouldn’t give myself anxiety unless they tell you that something is specifically wrong.
@yesicondaa, You don’t have to worry about it! Maybe this is the way you are carrying! When I was 37 weeks, doctor told me to do an ultrasound, I was measured 35 weeks. Baby was still growing, he just was sitting to low in my belly))
Thank you! Im hoping if anything is alarming theyll tell me right then and there
@yesicondaa, My clinic releases results to my online chart within 48 hours. I believe I got mine the same day. Hoping for the best for you!
@aengs2, i hope nothing is wrong when i get my results. Did you get them same day? Or you waited until your doctor reviewed/called you?
@nlock, im glad she was fine im just gonna pray everything goes well tomorrow and i get good news.
My clinic only does a growth scan if there's a concern. Otherwise they don't do one. I had one with my son due to an umbilical cord issue.
My dr is concerned that my baby is too big so im getting an ultrasound Tuesday to check his weight.
@yesicondaa, no they just did a lot of tests on her when she was born . They did glucose tests on her before I feed her every time they tested the placenta they let her be right there with me the entire time though.
@nlock, did she have to stay in the nicu? Im just scared of the risks if my baby stays in longer and doesn’t grow.
And she is still small now she’s going to be 1 next week and is still walking around wearing 6-9 months clothing
I'm having one on Tuesday because when I was 35weeks baby was measuring 33 -_-
