ok I am a little worried about u/s result

[melimeli]

after thinking about it all night... yesterday I was 37w6d and the

head measured 34w4d (last head measurement was right on not small)

the belly measurement was 40w

and the femur was 37w4d...

ok.. why is the head measuring 3w2d small???? ahhhhhhhhhh

Meli you are in the home strectch....she's almost here!!! And Im sure she's perfect!!

[AshleysMom]

Don't worry. My baby's head is measuring 2 weeks big.  My doc said some people just have bigger heads and it's still in the normal range.  I guess the untrasounds at this point can vary by 30 days or so?

I wouldnt worry mel.. shes going to be perfect !!!

Don't worry Meli, the u/s tech has to tell you if she saw something wrong..  On my growth u/s, everything wasn't measuring the same either..they told me it was perfectly normal.

I called the advice nurse today and she said when I go in for my NST at 3:45 to bring it up to the nurse and she can ask the dr. on call... I just am ready to have her now and see that she is ok... ready for a c section next week.  I don't care about the vbac anymore I just want to be able to stop worrying!  I am 38w today...  I think next Friday would be a lovely day to have a baby!

did you ask?  did they give you a reason?

When I read about the accuracy of u/s, it sounded like it was most accurate in first trimester, in terms of dating, and less so 2nd or 3rd.  I would think that most babies grow at their own speed.  If something was wrong, or they were concerned, surely they would have said something?  I am sure all is well.  You are so close to meeting your little girl.  Hang in there, almost there.
