low birth weight

[michaelamarie_95]

Im 38 weeks pregnant and my baby is measuring at 5 pounds 12oz. My dr. Seems concerned but im not exactly sure why. He is completely healthy and all his organs are completely developed. I was born at 5 pounds 11oz. And the biggest of 4 kids. I myself am only 103 pounds (before baby) and 5 feet 3 inches tall. Petite. It would be nearlyn impossible for me to have an 8 pound baby. Anyone else have any comments? How much is ir baby weighing in at

My doc hasn't told me how much my girl is weighing but I'm in the same physical boat as you and I'm measuring 2 weeks ahead of schedule and she won't tell me if that is good or bad

I have been measuring small since 37 weeks but he is engaged and we can barely get an ultrasound of his head because he is so far down in my pelvis

I'm 23 weeks and and everyone's telling me I'm barley showing for how far along I am yet they guess my baby boy weighted 13oz at my 20 week ultrasound so I don't get how I'm not that big yet

I did not start showing until about 26 weeks but was measuring on the rigjt weight. I carry by baby mainly in my back which caused it to take longer for me to show.

I've been measuring small and I'm petite too. (5'4"&97lbs pre-pregnancy)..My baby measured 5lbs 7oz at my 35week ultrasound. But my doctor wasn't concerned with the numbers at all. I asked if I'd have a big baby cuz I'm afraid of not being able to push her out. But he said it's very unlikely. Because I have a small frame so the odds are baby will be small.

In 36 weeks and two days ... I had an ultrasound since yesterday and my son is 5 pounds 8 oz ... They told me im a smudge under average but it's not a worry. .

I had my daughter at 40 weeks and 4 days. She was born at 5 pounds 11 ounces. The only reason they are concerned is because nowadays the average baby ia 7 and a half pounds.

My first daughter was 5 pounds 4 ounces, I'm a petit women, and she was born healthy, no complications. And natural birth with no medication.
I think you and the baby will be fine. And that's not underweight, when to worry is if the baby is under 5 pounds.

I had an ultrasound yesterday and I'm 36 weeks and 5 days and my baby weights 6 pounds and 3 oz they told me she was a lil under average but nothing to worry about

How do they find out the weight of the baby when it's in your tummy? I'm a ftm 29 weeks. Lol
