Hey you have a little miracle in there.  Maybe your baby is just small.  Maybe he/she will catch up and end up being a big baby.  It's really too early to really worry about, there is so much time and so much growing to do.  Hang in there and don't stress.  I'd just concentrate on that little heartbeat and be happy =D

I wouldn't worry either. If there hadn't been a heartbeat, then you could worry.

Same thing happened to me, the baby always measures smaller. He's fine.  Dont worry a lot about that.
Take care!
