measuring behind

At 36.week check up was one week behind now at week 38 she is two weeks behind. Dr says just a small baby, but I am worried. What if there is something wrong with her?

Baby will be fine. Ive always measured a little small, but the kids actually came out totally fine, just not so big. Makes for a great delivery, btw! You have to figure at this point, baby is a full human being and will grow in spurts just like the rest of us.

Yeah I'm having same issues. Had so much ultrasounds but everything looks good. Don't worry to much about it

I'm also measuring 3/4 weeks behind and was also worried. I had an ultrasound last week and thankfully everything is fine with my baby girl. She is a good size. The midwife's don't tend to worry unless you are over or under by at least 3 weeks.

I'm sure the baby is fine if the dr was really concern he would seen you for a ultrasound. I had that same scare and had a ultrasound and the baby was measuring in the 50th percentile. Good luck
