Baby measuring small...

I'll be 37 weeks this Thursday and I just went to one of my appointments today and the doctor said that the baby is measuring small. So they scheduled me for an ultrasound because he wants to know what's going on and as I'm looking at the ultrasound referral it says "Size 7 Date" anyone know a what that means?

Depends on why your baby isn't growing much. If the placenta is starting to slow down or die then they won't want to wait much longer.

It's confusing... this is my second. And first measured 18 inches and weighed 6lb2oz but he was born at 38 weeks. With this one I still have 3 weeks to go so wouldn't that help for the baby to continue growing??

My current pregnancy, I got told baby is measuring small. When I was expecting my first they told me she would be average, between 6-7lbs. She weighted 5.7lbs.
