I'm 35 weeks and measuring small. I've been lucky and have only gained about 13lbs this whole pregnancy. During my ultrasound the baby is on track to be 8lbs when she's born, so I wouldn't worry too much. As long as your baby is gaining it doesn't really matter if they're measuring small. Every pregnancy is different,  so don't stress too much! :)

Hi! I'm dealing with this right now. I'm almost 35 weeks and my measurements have been at least 2 weeks behind. Her abdominal circumference is only in 5th%. They classified me as high risk and I have to go for weekly ultrasounds and non stress tests. So far she has been passing all the tests, but now they say my umbilical cord has high blood resistance but seems to be improving, but baby may not be getting the nutrients she needs. ..or her small size may be genetic because my husband is short and we are both small people. It's just a weekly waiting game to see what happens in the next few weeks! If dr isn't happy with her growth they will do an early c section. I'm supposed to be due March 16th (she is also breech)I'm so stressed out. I hope your situation goes well! Keep me updated!

Yup! I have measured small my whole pregnancy but im also tall (5'8) and long in my torso so baby has lots of room length wise.  Plus my baby sits very low and deep into my back!  Dont worry too much just keep eating healthy!
