Had bad news today after my appointment I don’t know if I should be worried my son is now measuring 3 weeks behind anybody been in this situation?
@resadewitt22234 that's a great, did she tell you what kinds of things to look out for, I can't remember everything at the moment, but the one that really helped me was like if you don't few so many kicks per hour to call her or they nurse and I knew that my son was ok.
@resadewitt22234 I was upset when I found out too, but was your ob concerned? They have you and your baby's best interest.
Ultrasounds are just an estimation, therefore, they are not exact. Don't worry. Keep taking care of yourself and let God take over your worry and health of your baby. Everything will be okay.
My ob would tell me all the time since I was small I was having a small baby. I was measuring small and I went to a specialist that did an ultrasound on placenta to make sure it was sufficient and I had to go every week to monitor my son, he was 0 percentile, so they induced me, I had an emergency c section and when he came out they said he was just balled up in there, he was fine and healthy. You are pretty far along, if you haven't had any complications so far, it could be that.
@resadewitt22234 it could have just been the position of the baby when she measured some weeks I measured ahead and some weeks I was behind it all. Baby position as a lot (in my experience anyways) when they do the fundal measurements
@mommytotheo, measuring the belly she told me to come in a week for an ultrasound
They told my sister this same thing at 3 different appointments! Finally at number 4 the doctor told her she was measuring right on track. Baby was perfect and she is a total fatty.
Not saying it’s like this for everyone but at least a story so you don’t stress 😊
Was it by ultrasound or measuring the belly. If measuring the belly it could be the way baby was laid. My friend was Inducded at 38 weeks because her baby was on the smaller side.
@resadewitt22234 yea just keep track and it'll ease your worry but stay strong and good luck.
