Disproportionate arms and legs?

Yesterday I commented on someone's post and said I wouldn't get to see my baby again until she was born. Well, yesterday I went to my appointment and my doctor scheduled an emergency ultrasound because my baby was measuring the same as she did at my last appointment. They told me after they looked at the results that her overall growth was good but her arms and legs are measuring small. Anyone have something similar happen to them while they were pregnant and your baby come out perfectly healthy...and proportionate? Lol I'm worried

I have been going to a sonogram specialist for the past 3 months because my baby's legs were short. Everything else is measuring fine. The soon specilast now says she will just be short but they are taking her at 36 weeks.

Yes, don't stress!! My daughters ulnas and femurs were both measuring small, arms and leg bones, the long ones, and she is perfect, a little short, but so am I! don't worry about it.
