my baby has been measuring very small since 18 weeks i am now 25. i got an amnio done and it came back normal. now they want to do blood work to test for diseases and stuff. does anyone know what could this be. can she have some disease or something on why she is not growing normally. i am so scared.

Aspen was measuring like 2 weeks small during some of her ultrasounds and then randomly she was measuring a week ahead and then by the end about a week small again. Babies go through growth spurts and after 13 weeks they grow at their own rate. It is possible like Atlantisea said that she is just petite. Aspen is almost 4 months and she still wears the majority of newborn clothes but she is fine and is growing she is just tiny. Don't get down yet.

The further along you get in pregnancy, the more different the sizes of the babies can be. It is still quite possible that she is petite. Especially if they haven't found anything else out of place. I think they are just double checking! Don't worry yet. :)

How far behind is the baby measuring?

Maybe the dates are wrong? Is that possible?
