Measuring Small For Dates?

[lg084]

Hi ya Girlies,

Need some advice. I am 37+3 days, however bubs is measuring small for dates (2 weeks behind) Is this common? Anyone else had same prob. I am carrying very small too.

Scans say everything is OK & there is no decline in bubs growth. So does this mean if I go to full term, she will be the size of a 37 wk baby!!! :confused: . The sonographers speak to you in a diff language!! :banghead: Oh and my FH as been 3 cm behind whole preg

Anyways, been a rather good preg, except DP left me at 5 mths. (tuff luck for him) & now really really looking forward to the arrival of my baby girl!! so over pregnancy right now, tho I bet when I go into labour I will be wishing the opposit, my hosp does not give epi's :eek:

Hope I can get some girly advice & chat so some of you.

Sounds pretty normal to me!

Dont forget that babies are little humans - everyone of us is different! 37 weeks is considered 'term' size, so I wouldn't worry about a thing!

I wish I could say the same but I am the opposite, my boy has been measuring about 3 weeks ahead in size the whole way through - GD hasn't helped I am sure and high BP in the last few weeks inhibiting my movements as well. I am 36+3 days at the moment and am booked in for a C in 10 days time not only due to his size but my health.
Every baby is different though and as long as she is developing the way she should and your Dr is happy - don't worry, she'll be a wonderful healthy baby.
