Honestly I wouldn’t trust the scans and estimates. I was told my girl was 7lb 6oz at my 38 weeks scan and a week later I gave birth at 39weeks and my girl was 7lbs dot on. It wasn’t far off but I’ve heard some peoples babies was really far off the estimates x

If you’re being measured by fundal height (measuring tape) it’s not as accurate as a scan. My measurement was measuring baby to be 2 weeks behind and it really upset me, after going for a scan they confirmed baby was growing fine.
Hope this helps.

I measured exactly the same at this stage this time last year.. got told baby was going to be on the smaller side.. she was 8lb 4oz 🤣 I don’t trust growth scans!!

Yeah growth scan it was.
Plus she is breech. So worried she not growing...my next scan is on 24th I'll be 36 weeks. So hopefully she has grown xxx

im the same measurements as you, my babies have always been small and its pretty normal for your body when youre small, im only 5ft too, all mine were below 10th centile and absolutely fine xx

@ rebecca that's not too bad hun, at 29 weeks plus 1 day my baby boy weighed just over 3lbs so I don't think your little girlie's weight is too bad xxx

I've also just had a growth scan at 32 + 1 and he's grown to 4lbs now, so you're not too far behind me xxx

I’m in the same boat,, my measurements have been small since 20 weeks at my last scan two weeks ago on the femur he was almost 5 weeks behind and head and tummy 3 weeks, amd he had dropped off the chart I’ve been so worried I had a amniocentesis at 20 weeks which was all clear but I’m still worried I’m back in the morning for another scan if he’s still off the chart I’m being induced ,, it’s hard isn’t it as so many others have had wrong measurements but I’m over anxious after we had a shock birth diagnosis with our second little boy.. your not alone xxx

The measurements are rarely accurate, try not to over think it or let midwife scare ya xxx

My baby was measuring 4lbs at 35 weeks you’re fine turned out my baby was measuring bigger than what they said

At my 32 week scan my girl measured 3.14lbs and my boy 4.2lbs. They are twins but weren’t concerned by the growth at all x

that makes me feel better 😌 thank-you xxx
