Don't worry everything is fine, my doctor told me the same when i was 28 weeks my belly was measuring 25 weeks but when i went for a ultrasound my baby is actually measuring 1 week and 1 day bigger! Sometimes i think im really tiny compared to everyone else, but everybodys body is different i have only gained 15 pounds

Is not normal to measure that small you could ask to get monthly growth ultrasounds just to make sure its not IUGR or something else i had that with my last baby and he was stillborn i didnt know i had the option of requesting more monitoring or ultrasounds since i had free state insurance so i just prayed and
Hoped he catch up on his growth but didnt and he was only like 2 weeks behind. this pregnancy im being seen by a specialist and he told me there is no way for the baby to be measuring weeks behind and there not being a problem there is always something that needs to be investigated thank god this time around my baby is healthy and measuring days bigger.. please talk to your dr they need to make sure that your baby is ok because measuring 4 weeks small is always never ok.

Im having this to im 30 weeks but im measuring  at 29 weeks . I go for my ultarsound on tuesday :) . But i was told that they might be taking up more space under ur ribs or in the back and thats why you may seem small .
