Measuring 2 weeks behind.

I went to my doctors appointment at 34 weeks and they told me instead of measuring at 34 weeks I'm only measuring at 32 weeks. Has anyone else been told this? They scheduled me for an ultrasound on dec. 18th they told me I was 2 weeks behind on the 30th. I don't like how long they are waiting and everyday I just worry what if it's something serious that can't wait. I'm thinking about calling and trying to reschedule for a sooner day. But has anyone else experienced this?

I just had my 32 week appointment and my belly measured 30. My midwife wasn't concerned. She said 2 weeks small or big is fine.

It's probably nothing. Fundal height is a pretty inaccurate way to measure baby, so they're doing an ultrasound as a precaution.
I had one at 38 weeks with my first because I was measuring behind as well. At the ultrasound they said quite the opposite- he was going to be a large baby. He was born at 6.5lbs. They don't have great ways of measuring size at weight at the end of pregnancy.
