20 weeks measuring small

I had my anatomy scan at 22 weeks and baby was measuring 20 weeks. I also found out the edges of my placenta were raised which could’ve possibly caused it, but no way to tell. I now have a growth scan every 4 weeks until birth. Doctor says there’s nothing I can do, but to be safe I’ve been exercising more, eating more greens, and staying hydrated.

With my first he was measuring 2-3 weeks ahead until 30 weeks and then he was measuring 4 weeks ahead. I was told he would be 10-12lbs at birth because how big he was measuring. He was born 7lbs at 39 weeks. It’s all estimated really so I wouldn’t worry. My friends daughter was measuring behind by about 3 weeks told she was gonna be tiny and was born 8lbs.

My daughter was measuring small around that time too, I was so worried but she eventually caught up and was born weighing almost 8 pounds! She is 1 now and very healthy! I was 20w 5d measuring 18w 2d. I know it’s hard but try not to worry mama! 💜
