Not growing?

So, I just had my 32 week appointment and apparently my uterus hasnt grown since I was about 28 weeks. :/ I've gained weight, and little Alex is getting bigger but I'm not. Now I have to have another ultrasound Monday..has anyone ever had this problem before? If so what ended up happening?

All she would really say is that she doesnt think that there's enough room in there for him, and that I haven't grown in four weeks even though I've gained weight. She wouldn't say anything else and wants me to go for more ultrasounds..I'm just really worried. As soon as she walked into the room the first thing she said was "wow..I need to measure you.."

I'm also 32 weeks and have my appt tomorrow. This sounds pretty scary. Did u ask the Dr what it could mean? I will ask my tomorrow, as it has always been a concern that my belly isn't "big enough." My last appt I was measuring normally, but hope everything is fine tomorrow.

That helps me relax some..I'm still worried about having him this early. I haven't even had my baby shower yet, I don't have much for him.

Is it possible theres just no more room for your baby to grow? Like maybe the max for the extension of ur uterus is 28weeks. Im just putting ideas out there but dont quote me on any of it.
