I'm 37 weeks and I measured at 35 last week and this week. She said it's because the move is low. She didn't seemed worried either. My doc told me my baby girl is very low can feel the head already, so I'll see when she's ready to come out. Her due date is 10/20. I get nervous too about the size because I'm eating lol, if that has anything to do with it.

I am 36+2 and measured at 35 today so doc is sending me for a growth scan. It's scary, I hope  he's growing ok!

I'm 37 weeks and measured at 34 as well. The doc told me it was because I've had so many other kids prior to this one (this is my 5th and LAST.) My ligaments and muscles aren't what they used to be. I've had SO many random strangers guess that I'm having a boy because she's SO low. I don't worry about it much. I'm known for having small babies. Every pregnancy and woman are different. =)

Nah dont let it. Mine has done that and even went for a growth scan and measured fine on the scan. The measuring tape method is not an exact science on the actual size or anything dont worry
