Measuring Small, anyone else?

posted 15th Feb '08
So for the past three weeks my baby was measuring at 35 weeks, and today when I went to my OB/GYN I was measuring at 36 weeks. However, I'm supposed to be 38 weeks on Monday. Anyone else measuring off? Does that mean I'll be late? I was induced with my first, so I didn't go into labor on my own.

ha last week at the hospital one nurse measured me to be at 31 weeks, **I was 34 weeks** then another nurse measured me to be 32 weeks, and then at the doctors office I measured right at 34 weeks!! And today I'm 35 weeks went to the doctor and measured 35 weeks...

I wouldn't be worried about it.

My baby always measured big but my belly alwways measured small. They say she is 7lbs 2 oz now...those arent always right measurements, she feels like she is about 10lbs...haha, with this being your second you probably wont go past your due date...sometimes the baby isnt in the right position to accurately measure

I hope not! Everyone I know who is due after me (friends, family) have all had their babies already! Other than my cousin who is due March 5th, and she is being induced on tuesday! I'm so envious!!

My placenta wasn`t functioning in certain parts. It was really small And the cord was thin not like it should have been. thats pretty much how they explained it to me.

he's been measuring about 2 wks too small for about 2 months now but I'm not worried... my husband was born 5lbs 5 ounces and I was 6'7 so I just expect he'll be a small baby... which is fine by me!! as long as it's all developed properly he can be the size of a peanut for all I care... stick 'em in a walnut shell like thumbelina and I'll be all set!! lol...

Oh wow, did it affect anything?! Did you have to be induced earlier than your due date or anything? That would scare me. My doctor hasn't said anything about it.

I measured up to 6 weeks small, my baby however always measured healthy on the ultrasound.

The fundal measurements are only guidelines and are nothing to worry about, they're often not accurate at all.

I was measuring 32 weeks at 38 when I gave birth to Nika, she was 6 pounds and 19 inches, 8.8 on the apgar.

Yeah. I was Induced Monday Which was3 weeks and 5 days before my due date. He only weighed 4lbs but he's home only thing that was wrong with him was he had Jaundice.He's so perfect just in a smaller package then a usual newborn.He's week and one day old and he's only 4lbz 7oz and 18 inches long.
