As I said in my last post, I am 27 weeks 4 days pregnant. I had an ultrasound yesterday and my baby is measuring in the 5th percentile for growth. My doctor didn’t seem concerned because my son wasn’t a big baby when he was born and both my boyfriend and I are fairly small people.
But of course I went to google when I got home and read up on it and all I found was baby’s being stillborn and early because they were so small. Has anyone had experience with something like this that can help ease my mind a little?
I go back for another growth ultrasound in 4 weeks and I think if my doctor was truly concerned it would be sooner than that.
Sorry for the long post.

@girlmom., thank you! My son was small and is now 30 pounds and not even two yet 😅 he had a very short cord so maybe that is the case with this one as well. Just nice to hear that it doesn’t always mean something is bad/wrong if they are measuring little.
My middle daughter had a knot in her cord so she measured small the whole time. Was born at 38(went into labor naturally) 5lbs 13oz 19inches, perfectly healthy and we still went home on time. Shes now a 38 pound 3 year old full of love and energy!!
Don't stress!
There is someone on here who has a condition in which the baby doesn’t get all of the needed nutrients from the placenta. Her first and second pregnancy were like that. They will be inducing her early, and monitoring more closely.
@valerie_jean, I knew better too! 😅But now that I have it’s all I’ve been thinking about.
NEVER. GOOGLE. ANYTHING. PREGNANCY WISE😂😂😂 it will just scare you. I think you answered yourself- if your doctor was concerned it would be scheduled way earlier than that. Don’t stress!!
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Ultrasound
So I Had My First Ultrasound At 6 Weeks Heard Baby's Heart Beat And Everything Was Ok.... Doc Said I Wouldn't Have Another Ultrasound Until I'm 20 Weeks I Feel Like That's Too Long. When Did You Get Your Second Ultrasound?
My doctor said he would induce my labor at 38 weeks, if my baby girl still had growth issues and if the percentile dropped to 10 or less. Last thursday, it was 10 percentile, and he said if she didn't come on her own by 38 weeks, he would induce labor at that time. I'm 36 weeks 1 day today, he said my cervix was super thin, and 1cm dilated. Is there a possibility this can change... that my doctor will let her just come on her own? I don't want to be induced, i would much rather her come on her ...
Went to the hospital for some pain and I found out my son is measuring small according to my last ultrasound.. He is in the 6th percentile they said.. I have to go to my doctor tomorrow. I had no idea the OB on call could see my ultrasound results from my check up. Has anyone else's baby measure small then be okay? I don't know a lot yet because I wasn't able to see my doctor as its Sunday, so I only got the doctor on call information. He really just said it is important that I go in tomorrow. ...
I'm concerned about my due date. My last actual period was August 5th but I had spotting in September 5th, which lasted about a day or 2. My doctor originally gave me the due date of May 12th but after the ultrasound gave me the due date of June 8th. Am I 30 weeks or 34 weeks? Could my baby just be measuring small?
I don’t think that ultrasounds are always completely accurate.. At my 36 week ultrasound my baby measured in the 4th percentile. I got a level 2 ultrasound 2 days later that showed she was in the 20th percentile. She was born a little over 2 weeks after that weighing a perfectly healthy 7lbs 13 oz.. I worried myself sick over nothing!
