I didn't have a small placenta but my babies always Measure smaller. My first pregnancy they said I would be lucky to hit five pounds when she was born and I had her at 39 weeks and she was 6lbs9oz with my second baby they said she was 5lbs when I had her she was 7lbs11oz I was induced with both of them at 39 weeks. I'm almost 23 weeks with baby #3 and they say she is measuring alittle bit small. Try not to worry to much. My friend had a baby and he weighed 4lbs 6 weeks early and baby had to be on oxygen for a few days but other than that was perfect.

Everything will be alright don't stress yourself out just focus on meeting your little one next week yay :) the size is just an approximate and even if she's small doesn't mean she won't be healthy they will prob just keep u in a little longer to watch her gain weight.

awe thanks guys. its due to a small placenta because i was already tested for genetic and chromosome problems and it all came back negative. my doctor said its probably because of a small placenta but they really don't know. i just hope i don't lose my daughter during the birth
