Tummy measurements??

So iv had regular growth scans as baby measuring a lil small and baby abdominal circumference measuring small also. However today it had increased (still below average but still an improvement on 2wks ago!) Im thinking its because Iv rested loads and ate a lot more. Any other tips on how I can get this above the average line???

Hi ladies just to update u. I had another scan and baby doin well. In my last scan tummy measurements had improved a little but now today its down a little again. Is this possible? I thought since it had gone up on the charts it would either stay consistant or improve not decline again.

it may have to do with how the baby is laying so i wouldnt worry about it, as long as there is some improvement.  i havent has an increase in 6 weeks but the baby is head first and i have dropped.  dr thinks he weighs 8lbs and is not concerned.

I measured small for 2 months, I'm 36 weeks now- about to be 37 weeks and she's over 5lbs. As long as they are at or over 5lbs you shouldn't worry
