Meeasuring small for 33weeks. Should I be worried?

Meeasuring small for 33weeks. Should I be worried?

I just had my check up  at 33 weeks 2 days and my belly measured 28.5cm. 4 weeks before that everything was measuring right on track. I have U/S scheduled for next week to check baby's size. My doctor said it could be because of baby's position. In the last few days baby has turned. Now I am really worried that I will have very small baby.
Did this happen to anyone? Does it mean my baby might have some problems. I have had miltiple U/S throughout my pregnancy and everything has been on track.

Thank you

I had it happen to me. Until you get your ultrasound, don't worry about it. Measuring by tape is inaccurate and doesn't mean anything. I was 33 weeks and measured to be 27 weeks. Ultrasound showed her to be at 32 weeks 6 days. My daughter was born at 39 weeks weighing 6 pounds 12 ounces and at 5 months old has no problems. Many doctors don't bother with the practice of tape measurements because they are so inaccurate and just cause unneeded worry and stress. Good luck. I'm sure everything is fine.

I think you don't have to be worried,in my first pregnancy when I was 8 months pregnant I lost 2 kg that month for no reason nd I delivered a 4 kg healthy boy
good luck in everything!

The tape is inaccurate because everyone carries baby differently in pregnancy. I measured big with the tape and then via ultrasound she was measuring 3 weeks small. Even then I gave birth at 39 weeks to a 6 lb 15 oz baby.
