I'm  35 weeks today.
I went to my obygn appointment and my Doc. Measured my belly.  She said i wasnt measuring at 35 weeks. I was measuring small. Not sure how much. Going to have an ultrasound around next week. She said his heart beat was strong and good.
Anybody else?
I just want my baby to be okay!

Your baby may have dropped and is engaged which would cause you to measure smaller.  I always measured smaller at the end when baby was engaged.  And my babes were 7'6 and 8'5.  Pretty nice sized average babies.

Don't worry about it too much, it's common to measure too small or too big, you'll know more after your ultrasound.
