so i had my 34 week appointment this morning and the dr decided to schedule me for a ultrasound this Friday. i am super worried. She measured my belly like they always do and said that i was measuring small. my baby's heartbeat was 150 and the dr said she seemed active. and she does move alot sometimes she's lazy but she moves everyday. i'm just worried that something could be really wrong with her growth. or maybe that her amniotic fluid is low...idk i'm really worried. anyone else have this problem before???


UPDATE:

so i went and had my ultrasound done today to see how Miss Isabel was doing and growing....she is measuring in at 33 weeks and 5 days which is only 4 days behind how far i am....so it doesnt too much concern me. she has a heartbeat of 150...like always lol and her estimated weight is 4lbs and 14oz  :)

yes!!!

i was measuring very small my bump was tinny at full term i was so scared that something was wrong

in Scotland they say your bump should measure the same amount as the week u are at 39 weeks  months i was on 27 on the bump that's way off. so i went 2 weeks over due with my son and here the kicker

he was 8 lbs 7 he was a big boy where he was in me i do not know lol

this is him just born and he perfect in every way he not 18 months

Of both of the ultrasounds I've had, my baby was measuring small for date. The doctor said not to worry-- some women just have small babies and that's what he's expecting for me. Maybe that's the case for you, too. If you're petite, it's a possibility that baby is too. Don't worry yourself until you know there really is something wrong. Good luck, and give us an update asap! :)

 depending on your body type, it could be throwing off the measurments outside.  i guess i wouldnt worry.  ive measured big and small before and the u/s showed everything to be normal and right on schedule.  good luck!  hope all is well with you and baby!
