MEASURING BEHIND

[Courtz12]

Im currently 38 +4 and my little girl has measured 36 for the last two weeks. Doctor told me this was fine as the baby doesn't have much space. I'm afraid to deliver a small baby or have her have any complications after she's born. . Is anyone else in similar situation?

I was measuring on track my whole pregnancy till I hit 32 weeks then I started measuring behind. Doctor also told me it was normal but I was still super worried that my baby would be small. But I just had my growth scan ultra sound yesterday (I'm 37 weeks) and my baby girl was 7lbs 2oz already!! Lol I was so shocked and so was the technician Lol I would say not to worry about the size too much as long as babes is healthy everything will be fine :)

My son's abdomen is measuring two weeks behind his gestational age, and his head is measuring almost two weeks ahead. My doctor was worried although I think he's just skinny, and he's going to induce me on Tuesday 6/2 even though my due date is 6/15. I'll be 38+1, and he'll be about 6 and a half pounds, so it'll be safe, but I still wish he would just let me go full term.

I have always grown ahead, or perfectly on track till the end, where I start to measure a bit behind like you are.  Ive had 3 healthy babies, 7 lb 2 oz, 8 lbs 9 oz, and 8 lb.  If your doctors not worried, then it sounds like everything is going just right!
