Freaking out !!!!

[Patriciaaa02]

I just left the fetal specialist and was told my baby's legs are measuring 3 weeks shorter and I'm 33 weeks 5 days I'm 4"10 and he said it can be bc I'm little but he said overall my baby looks perfect and he didn't seem to concern he said he wouldn't worry since I'm a small girl but he's going to check me again in 4 weeks has this happened to anyone else ?? I'm devastated right now idk what to think !!!

[Patriciaaa02]

Thank u so much for sharing and that's what I'm hoping that they're wrong  I'm glad you're baby is ok

[babyalexa15]

I was told at 34weeks my daughter on of the legs was shorter than other they had to do me another ultrasound to see if anything had change in 3 weeks so I got it at 37 weeks and they said same thing so I worry so much that I cried as well and praying for my daughter to be fine but she was born 5 weeks ago perfectly fine and healthy some doctors exaggerate and they are stupid bcuz babies legs on the womb aren't completely straight since they are inside they vent their legs and that's why doctor come to a conclusion about thinking something is wring don't worry I was told same exact story your baby will be okay  ..goodluck

[Patriciaaa02]

Thanks for making me feel better I wasn't going to tell my mom but I'm glad I did bc she told me I went through the same thing I had short legs n well still do at 23 lol n she laughed n said look at the dad what do u expect he's small too lol I'm just hoping my next appointment goes good I've been praying and that's all I can do

You're small, I don't expect my baby (at 5 '7) to be as petite as yours :) it's nothing to worry about, have FUN at your baby shower, hope you get what you need !!

[Patriciaaa02]

Thank u tomorrow is my baby shower and I haven't been enjoying the whole process of decorating or anything bc of my doctor appointment yesterday but I'm trying to be positive now but it's something that's in the back of my head still tho

[alexxmend]

Don't stress yourself, your baby will be perfect, and she'll be little and petite like you

[Patriciaaa02]

???

[Patriciaaa02]

So I talked tMy mom about it and she told me I was born with very short legs too I had I big head and body and tiny legs could that be a reason why my daughter is like that too ?

[Patriciaaa02]

Thanks for making me feel a little better I'm glad I'm not alone in this

[chelfylou]

Its the same with my boy, his head and tummy are measuring more than his legs but sometimes bubs will just measure a little smaller in places c: nothing to worry majorly about unless the doctors are really concerned about the difference in measurements. But, as you've said they say they won't know until after they deliver then the best thing would be to not stress and remain positive! Your bub sounds perfectly healthy and her legs may have growth spurts after birth c:

[Patriciaaa02]

I'm confuse how her other parts of the body are measuring right and her weight is right except her legs ?? Do u guys think that is normal ? I'm also scare bc the doctor told me that if something is wrong they won't until after delivery ! That's a long time to wait and see!! I'm trying to be positive but I just still can't stop crying my bf keeps telling me everything is ok I'm glad he's being supportive and positive n trying to make me feel better

[chelfylou]

My son's legs are 2-3weeks behind and doctors think its because he'll be short like me! I'm only 5'0 and his dad is 5'10 but was short as a child so they think his legs may catch up when he has his growth spurts as he gets older. Try not to worry so much!

[Crystalann43]

Yes his little arms and legs were measuring 2 weeks shorter along with his weight. I don't think it's anything to worry badly about. This was at 36 weeks and my doctor didn't worry. I'm now due in just 2 days with him still measuring smaller and my doctor says it's fine I'm tiny so he's tiny. My fiancée is 5'7 and that didn't work to the baby's advantage at this point maybe as he grows? But think about it.. It'd be rough giving birth to a baby who's big or average size when your not average size lol. I don't think it's too much of a problem..

[Patriciaaa02]

I'm just afraid something is wrong with her legs I'm soooo stressed out I've been nauseous since than I feel so sick to my stomach I have to see the specialist again in 4 weeks I'm terrified to hear bad news is there anything I can do to make her legs grow I know it's sounds stupid but I'm so worried and well I was told she 4 lbs 6 oz and That is good

[Roxxxy915]

My ob has always said idnt expect for your babies to be huge. She was correct im 4'11. & my 1st weighed 6lbs & my last two weighed 5lbs. W.my last recent pregnancy ob was a lil concerned that thru-out my 9month she was weighing 4lbs but she was born @38wks&2days , she weighed 5lbs & 8oz @the hospital they had to check her sugar level for her weight but other that day shes a healthy baby & shes a month old now. Just relax & plus , its easier for you to push out a lil baby instead of a big baby lol.

[Patriciaaa02]

Idk but I told him well the father is like 5'5 is it bc we're both short and he said it has to do with me not him so that confused me too I thought her genes came from bit of us not just me .... -__-

[RockRose]

Have you noticed that jeans come in long,  average and short?  It's because people have long,  average or short legs compared to their overall size.  ;D

It's hard not to worry,   but legs that are a little shorter than average is usually just fine.  

I wonder why the doctor said this has to do with you, not the baby's father.  ??  

[Patriciaaa02]

But was it her weigh or they told u her legs were short too ?

[Crystalann43]

Try not to worry yourself to much! Especially if your doctor didn't seem to concerned. Your baby is just shorter then others, no problem with that. I was actually told the same thing. At my 36 week appointment my doctor told me my little one is smaller then other babies this far along. He was only measuring 5 pounds. But she told me the same thing, I'm small so she's not concerned that he's small as well. Good luck with everything!

[Patriciaaa02]

Her dad is 5"5 I told the doctor that but he said it has to do with me not him I'm uncontrollably crying right now as I type I don't even know how I drove myself home and my dog is freaking out I'm so scare !! I don't want nothing to be wrong with her the doctor said she looks perfect that's the only thing they saw wrong

[MamaJ1014]

you're short so she may just be short... if mama only 4'10 and i'm not sure if daddy is tall or short, height just may not be on her side. she's just itty bitty committee... don't worry mama.
