Yea same thing happened to me when I was pregnant I went in for a ultrasound n she was measuring like 4 weeks behind I went bAck at almost 39 weeks n she was measuring like 8 weeks behind its like she hadn't grown anything for a month or so they couldn't find nothing wrong with her just that she was measuring small n they told me bc me n her dad are small that was most likely why n that she was just going to be short like me I'm 4"11 btw n now she's almost 3 months old n she is short I always have to roll her pants up bc they fit her long n some newborn clothes still fits her so if you're doctor isn't concern u should b either I regret crying so much n not enjoying my baby shower thinking the worst of my baby n she was born perfectly healthy

If your Dr wasn't concerned there may be nothing to worry about but I would ask for more details at your next appointment to put your mind at ease. Good luck x
