Had growth ultrasound and baby Small .. HELP !
I went for a growth ultrasound around 31 weeks and my baby is measuring around 29-30 ish weeks according to ultrasound and I was wondering am I having a small baby or is my due date wrong ? I was a 6 pound baby and my bf was a 7 pound baby and also I've only gained 15 pounds thus far..

It really is possible the dates are off, happens often. I've only gained 14lbs at 33wks and a month ago he was measuring a tad bit smaller than they wud like. Most babies will catch up! Just make sure ur gaining enough weight (recommended by ur doc) and they'll keep monitoring and measuring. :)
What dates do you think are off ?
They can be off by two weeks at those scans. They are just estimates anyway. Unless it's more than four weeks different, I wouldn't worry.
My daughter measured small but that's because everyone is short in my family but now she is about as tall as me
Thats not bad. I measured 32 weeks when i was 38 weeks. They did a growth scan that estimated 7.7 lbs. She came out 6lbs 5oz and perfect!
It could just be your baby is just a little smaller. That is fine and there is nothing wrong with that. The size is not off by much but I would not try to get induced early if I were you. Just wait till baby decides to come because they could be off, due date is just a educated guess and can be a little off.
