My baby was measuring small at 18 weeks went on 6 weeks later at 24 weeks and she was still small but at 28 weeks she was average. I think its just all babies grow at their own rate. Keep thinking positive!

I have small for dates babies that start measuring small from 28 weeks onwards. Means alot more monitoring and scans for me to make sure they're progressing and not turning IUGR. Some people just have small babies, but better to be safe than sorry and monitor it.

I'm very thin but tall and my partner is the same, she was measuring fine at my 21week scan but I guess it could change in a few weeks

I have mine on monday.. I'll let u know. But the past 2 the baby was big. We will see this time. R u a small person? And ur husband is he small framed?? Sometimes it's depends on the parents genes. If both of u are small ppl then ull gave a small baby. In my case om small but my husband is big n tall not fat but big framed. So baby is takes after him.

At 24 weeks I was told my daughter was measuring small. Now I'm 33 weeks today and I haven't had an ultrasound since then but my dr said I'm measuring exactly what I'm supposed to. I look really big in the belly but I'm short torsoed. Ill have another ultrasound at 37 weeks so it's a waiting game now.
