At my 20w ultrasound my doctor couldn’t get proper measurements bc she refused to move so they told me to come back in 4 weeks, we’ll I did and same thing she refused to move no matter what I ate or drank or using the bathroom, ext so I was sent to talk to my OB two days later, they told me my lil girl is measuring at only 1pound 4oz and that she is in the 9th percentile so now I’m being sent to a whole different hospital to get a “second level” ultrasound. I go this Friday for the ultrasound when I’m 26w 2d and latly I haven’t been able to sleep, I’ve gotten maybe 5 hours total in the last week bc I’m scared something is wrong. Anyone ever go thru this? My little girl is super active all the time and I’m 4”9 myself. My first son was 5p 6oz so I feel like im just over thinking it?

Try not to stress too much, ultrasound measurements aren't always correct- they almost induced my friend because she was measuring at 90th percentile but it turns out the baby was right at 50th when she was born a week later... and sometimes they test just to be extra cautious I was sent to get a fetal echo because I'm 1% more likely than the general public to have a baby with a heart defect, there wasn't a defect, and they wouldn't have known for sure until he was born anyway
