Measuring Small?

I'm 28 wks and change and at my doc appointment 2 days ago I was measuring 25. My doc is gonna go ahead and order an ultrasound to check up on baby girl, but I've had 2 previous babies and always measured right on target. Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else, and what the results ended up being? Thanks!

I measure two weeks smaller I'm 38 weeks. They did another ultrasound and said everything is fine and that my baby is 6 pounds which is normal, if the baby wasn't matching the due date then I think they end up changing it to a later time. Doctors go by how big the baby is not how big or small you measure. You could just be someone who has a long torso, that's what they told me.

I've measured small all throughout. My doc has done a couple extra ultrasounds to make sure babys on track, and she is! I'm really tall and was fairly thin before I got pregnant, and she says thats a factor.
