Baby measuring small is everything ok?

I went last Thursday to my appointment and they scheduled me for ultrasound and baby monitoring because his measuring small. I'm 37 weeks+3. There going to do that for now on dr says his concern. Since his measurements range from 33 wks to 35 wks to 36 + days. All my babies have being below seven pounds so I'm not sure Y it's a concern now. Has anyone had this problem?

I am waiting out the same scenario.  I hope it's nothing for both of us!   They say he's measuring 2 wks behind and so going for twice weekly nonstress tests & weekly ultrasounds now.  I'm feeling lots of movement which is good. They aren't measuring growth at US though--just amniotic fluid, Doppler on cord, and biophysical profile.  All tests have been good.  Doc says get me close to 40 wks as long as tests continue to go well.  They are concerned about a possible aging placenta but they don't think it's an issue that warrants immediate delivery. I never had this close monitoring with my first baby and he was 6-13 at 40+4 birth.  Placenta seemed healthy at birth but who knows?  I am concerned because docs extra monitoring is scaring me.

Coincidentally I saw pediatrician today for my first child and mentioned small for gestational age in new baby.  She was not very concerned--said US is all they can go by but it's not always accurate.  I feel better after talking to her.   We have no control over it mama, I'm trying not to panic/stress but it's hard.  I think if your other babies are small and healthy this one will probably be small and healthy too.
