is it normal?

I went for my 31w check up today and after checking my fundal height the Dr ordered a growth u/s. I never had that with my son and now, of course as usual I'm worried.

[amy8702]

I'm going crazy. And I will until tomorrow. If the tech doesn't tell me anything then I have to wait til the 21st!!!!

I had a growth ultrasound cause I measured smaller at 33 weeks. My baby is perfect and healthy. He was born at 7'3 :) dont stress mana

[Mamabear0509]

This happened to me! I was measuring a bit smaller so we did an ultrasound. Everything was fine. My son was just little. Hes perfect and healthy. Dont stress mama

[amy8702]

Now DF and I aren't talking cause a kinda blew up on him because this is getting the best of me.

[amy8702]

I hope he's one of them

Some drs just do growth ultrasounds around this time to make sure everything progressing an baby is healthy.

I've had growth u/s with all four of my babies!! :-) I'm even getting a second one @ my next appt with this little guy!! He's measuring really big!!! Had one 2 wks ago @ 32 wks n my doc said today he wants another one in 2 more wks!! I wouldn't worry hun...I'm just excited I get to see him again so soon!!!

How much could change from an anatomy scan though?

Even if it says she's small, it can be off, they said my son was going to be 10+ lbs, and he was 8lbs 9.5ozs, they're so far off it's hard to get an accurate measurement, and as long as she's developing appropriately, it doesn't matter if she's small, ladies are supposed to be dainty! :)

[amy8702]

I feel so much anxiety and just want to cry. What if she's too small?? (That's been a worry of mine for a cpl weeks!)

[amy8702]

It's sooo hard not to stress :( thank god I go an appt for tomorrow morning I just hope I get a technician that will tell me stuff.

[KTowne]

Well if you're measuring on track, and heard a heartbeat, don't stress! Just another chance to see your baby! :)

[amy8702]

Yep, found the HB no problem. The requisition says right on it fetal growth.

[KTowne]

That is weird, if you're measuring on track it's obviously not to measure the baby, did he say why? Other than growth? Did you hear the H/B and everything?

[amy8702]

He said I was measuring fine. Which if I was why do I need this u/s

[KTowne]

Is it because you're measuring bigger or smaller? I wouldn't worry about it, it's probably nothing, but doctors like to be safe, of course! And one more chance to see your baby! :)
