I have to go in Friday for an ultrasound bc they're concerned that my son is measuring small..I'm praying he's okay. My husband was only 5lbs4oz when he was born, and all the babies in his family are small so I'm thinking that's just what it is. I've lost 25lbs and they're worried about that, but I had to drastically change my diet when I got pregnant bc I have gallstones, but hopefully everything is okay with your baby && the rest of your pregnancy :)

Don't panic, my son was measuring small from 33 weeks onwards. I had growth scans right up to 38 weeks then they induced me. He was only 4lb 14oz! Apparently my placenta was starting to break down, and he wasn't getting enough nutrients. But he was all healthy, just small, and soon turned into a little chubba bubba once the breastfeeding started! I am 29 weeks now, and am getting a growth scan at 30 weeks to check his size, just because of what happened with my last son. But i'm not going to be too worried about it now, as long as the actual health of the baby is all good.

My first born was 6lb 8oz and i rekon this one will be a simalar size. We all must just carry well its less of a belly to loose after we have had them and stretch marks.

my niece was born perfectly healthy at 5lbs 6oz. she was just small.
during the last few weeks of pregnancy you typically gain a pound a week. so hopefully you gain another pound just in case(:
