Freaking out!!! Help plz

So I went to the doctors today because they wanted to check his growth because my stomach was measuring small. They said he was head down but his head and stomach are measuring small nd with all the measurements they took they said he is measuring three weeks small so they are sending me to the hospital to do a better ultrasound as they have better equipment to look at him. Then they will do a follow up two weeks after nd if nothing looks different my doctor said I will be induced which I'm not worried about having done. My question is has anyone else gone through this nd everything turned out OK? I just don't want to be induced nd he comes out with issues (God forbid) just need some positive words nd reassurance sorry for long post just wanted to explain everything

Me! Both my babies had drops in growth (the main concern is the placenta isn't performing as it should be). Both my boys despite being small (born at 37 so will end up being around the same time for you) were happy and healthy. They just were not receiving enough nourishment from the placenta. Try not to stress. I'm having scans every two weeks from next week to monitor the growth of this baby & they will decide at 36 weeks how I can deliver depending on babies progress.

I haven't been through this myself personally but I really can't see him being born with issues that far gone. I know somebody that have birth natural at 34 weeks and within the same day she was home and baby is 100 percent perfectly healthy. Try not to worry and stress as your lil baby can feel everything.
