Measuring small....?

I'm almost 32 weeks and just had an appointment where I was measuring small. The nurse practitioner said the baby may just be positioned to where she can't get a correct measurement or something could be affecting the babies growth. She referred me to get an ultrasound so they know for sure. Had anyone else dealt with this and should I be worried? I'm scared that something is wrong.

Sorry to hear that but if babys born now she will be ok... if its bby stopped growing they'll probably section you or induce you.
Try not worry too much x

Just went through the same thing, went in for my 33week check up and belly was only measuring 31. Dr scheduled me for a growth ultrasound and bbaby's growth is where it should be.

I hope everything is okay! I was told I was measuring small at my appointment yesterday. Growth scan is scheduled 2 weeks from now. Fundal height was 29 and I am 32 weeks. I would love to hear an update after your appointment.  Good luck.

My baby is small, he is actually growth restricted from my hypertension and diabetes, I have been considered high risk my whole pregnancy.

I have had extra monitoring.  He is small now, but he most likely will gain the weight he needs when he is out.

Thanks for the support. I wouldn't be worried but I'm measuring 27 at almost 32 and that just seems like such a huge difference
