I went through the same thing about a month ago. My doctors measured me smaller and scheduled me for a ultrasound. Come to find out he measured big with the tech. The doctor at the ultrasound concluded that my sons head was down in my pelvis and that's why my ob couldn't measure accurate. I can tell you that I worried up until the ultrasound date. Try not to stress. Make a list of questions to ask tool prepare just in case. At the end of the day your baby will be fine. Keep the faith.
