Measuring small

Went to my doctors today and I'm 2 days shy of 37 weeks but only measuring at 34....I go in Wednesday for an ultrasound. Has anyone had this happen and everything was normal? If the baby has stopped at 34 weeks, what do they do? I'm a ftm and kinda scared of what's happening...I've had no problems so far and last week she was measuring at 35 weeks.

Sometimes it may be a concern.  It can possibly mean tjat bub is growth restricted. But it can also mean nothing and that bub will catch up or that the ultrasound may have been off a little. They should monitor you closely over the next few weeks to see. Even if bub is growth restricted, dont be concerned its less worrying than it sounds. My lo was and was born perfectly fine, just on the small side.  Best of luck
