help ! experienced mommies

So I posted earlier that my doctor said I needed another ultra sound to check how big baby is . I'm worried because she told me way back that I wouldn't have any more unless something was wrong . Well I messaged her because its bothering me and she said that I'm measuring smaller than my date and that  they have to check baby to see she's growing . My question is should I worry ? I haven't had any problems my whole pregnancy I'm 38.1 weeks  .. does it mean I'm not as far along as they told me ?, or like idk I'm just worried and scared I go Friday tofind out I know the ultra sounds are sometime a little off the right weight of baby ? I have a small belly people say I look small there was this Korean lady who didn't know I was 2 weeks frm my due date till I told her I'm pregnant . she seemed surprised . I mean I can't see my toes nd have to use a mirror to shave I think I'm huge but I guess I'm smaller than some other girls who are 38 weeks I'm a ftm... I just wanna know if anyone has gone tru this and baby came out just fine .. thank you .!

My doc said I measure small to. I just had an extra ultrasound today and she's growing great. Ur already 38 weeks so if they think she stopped growing ur far enough along they can deliver and there shouldn't be an issue

My last pregnancy i measured small **** up until i was 39 wks, my son measured right on target so ob said i probably carried him more towards my back and that why i was measuring so small. I had him at 39 wks 7 lbs 6 oz 21 inches long and healthy. So dont worry your baby is fine some women just get lucky and are small

Most ob's are always checking everything, so even if they think there is the slightest chance something may be wrong, they check it. Don't get too worried, I'm sure you'll be fine.
