measuring small

[Larissa1923]

I'm 33 weeks pregnant with a little boy..this pregnancy had been really tough on me. If its not one thing its another...I see a maternal fetal medicine specialist because they found some abnormalities in his brain.  Now he is measuring small. I had to do a fetal profile u/s and he passed with an 8 out of 8. Then i had to do a non stress test. I don't understand when my regular ob measured my  belly i was measuring right on. Could it just be that he is going to a small baby?

I was induced at 35 weeks he came out super healthy his sugar was low so he had to stay 2extra days. If you remember do delayed cord clamping it is supposed to be better for their lungs, hemoglobin, and iron stores. I didn't know this when I had my boy but this time I do. Good luck and praying for a healthy arrival and a quick recovery for you.

With my first pregnancy, my son measured smaller than "normal" the last trimester. As any other expectant mom I was worried for my child's health; but sure enough when he was born he weighed a healthy 6.11 pounds. Just try to eat a lot of protein like milk, meat, nuts, and beans. Best of luck to you :)

With my first pregnancy my son measured extremely small. When i had him at 35weeks my uterus measured 28. Im not sure if he was small so my uterus was small or if my uterus wouldn't stretch so it made him small.

No haven't heard anything. I am still going to my Ob twice a week for non stress tests and a ultrasound every week. I have an ultrasound today at 4. Thanks for checking up on me. =)

Just don't worry or stress. Eat healthy and drink plenty of water. From my experience it was easy to deliver my little guy. I was induced at 8:30am water broke an hour later and he was born with no problems at 11:39am. He was 4lbs 12ozs but very healthy. Keeping you and your bundle of joy in my prayers.

I really hope thats true. They made it sound like it was my placenta not giving him enough nutrients to grow. My other 2 babies..by a different Dad were 9lbs15oz and 8lbs 14oz. So if he is just small i can so live with that lol

He could just be a small baby. My little guy was measuring small but I truly believe I had preeclampsia earlier than the doctor said. Preeclampsia can cause smaller babies. But some children are just naturally smaller.
