Baby measuring small

[sisar]

For one week my baby didnt get any progress last week was showing 14 weeks and today should be 15 but still was showing 14weeks in ultrasaund.
(I dont know my last period date )
Doctor didnt see any concern he told because the baby is still small can not be measured with ultrasaund perfectly yet.
But im confused, did someone has the same problem?

Mine was opposite they kept saying larger than she was. Ultrasounds are just rough ball park. They Only get concerned if the navy is way ahead or way behind.  Because babies full term have a wide ranged. Mine was almost 11lb and my sister had a 6lb.

My first baby was born very small but due to preeclampsia after 32 weeks baby wasnt growing and i had a c-section on 36+5.
But now im only 15 weeks its early for this kind of problems, im confused.

I just bought extra calcium supplements (vitamins) and been taking 2 each day. The total calcium in these supplements + prenatals was about 1600mg a day.

Thanks!
Yes, I was seeing a high-risk doctor once a month in addition to OB. He had me take extra calcium (1500mg total), flex seed oil and baby aspirin every day in addition to prenatals.
Stopped baby aspirin at about 38 weeks, but still keep taking the rest.

How did you take the extra calcium from the food or from prenetal/vitamins?

Just try to think positive. My first one was micropreemie too due to preeclampsia, stopped growing at 24 weeks and we didn't catch it until week 28, that's when I had to have c-section too.
Now, with my second pregnancy my baby kept measuring small (in the 20th percentile) until about week 38. My due date is tomorrow and she is measuring in the 55th percentile now)) I'm getting worries she might even be too big lol.
So if your OB is not concerned, you should be ok.

Good luck, i wish you a very healthy delivery.
Did u use anything for precuation for the preeclampsia?

My baby seemed normal last time but when he was born at 40+2 he turned out to be very small for his term... ultrasounds aren't always right! Was your OB worried?

[sisar]

No he was not.He told me baby is very well and healthy, and ultrasaund measurements arent hundred persent true.
But im still confused because till 13 weeks was on the right track but last two weeks start to be 1 week smaller.
Its getting me nervous.

As long as the heart beat is on track and strong you should be good.  Each ultrasound tech has a different eye and because they are working with such small measurements if they are off a tiny bit because of a certain angle it can be judged as a different points in your pregnancy.

Hope that helps.
