measuring small

Hey ladies!
So I'm 38 weeks and went to my appointment today, doctor tells me I'm measuring 36 weeks. I meant to ask my doctor but other things happened and it slipped my mind. I'm having a girl and have a petite frame (though I'm like HUGE!) but what does that mean, if I'm measuring small?

I was measuring 36 weeks when I was 38. My doctor told me that one or two weeks difference is normal. Nothing to worry about. I'm not very big either now I measure 38 weeks and I'm 39 (:

Yeeeah, she did lol sorry to not have mentioned that. But it was more so because her heart rate was super high.

36cm was probably what she measured! And usually if they're concerned... They'll send Ya in for another ultrasound!

Up until now I've been measuring where I'm supposed. She said it like "hmm...  You're measuring 36 weeks... " like she found it odd. I didn't know whether to be concerned or not. Nor did she tell me the exact measurement.

1-2cm is usually no concern, it could just be that you're petite but it could also just be the way the baby is positioned! If the doctor wasn't concerned I wouldn't stress about it (:
