Bump Measuring Small

Hi everyone, Had my 25 week appointment today and midwife said my bump is measuring small and I need to go for another scan at some point this week, I am extremely worried now. She did say as I am petite this could be the reason why I don’t have a very big bump. Has anyone experienced this and baby was fine ?

The scans are just a precaution, with my firstborn i was small the whole way through but i had placenta problems, im pregnant with my second and i have a bump but baby is still on the smaller side but have been told that because im small and so is my partner that its not surprising x

Theyre not concerned with baby number 2 either if this helps x

Yes, when my bump was measured at 2 midwife appointments it was measuring small. First 2 appointments measuring fine, 3rd measurement was smaller, 4th went back up, 5th went down again, 6th back up. I got sent for growth scans after 3rd and 5th appointment, and a second glucose test as baby's tummy was measuring big on the first growth scan. Turned out fine, nothing to worry about. Me and my boyfriend thought that my measurements were off each time as a different midwife done it at each appointment so there wasn't one person doing it consistently 🤷‍♀️ the midwife told me it could also be the way you're laying on the bed too, like how far you're propped up. Liked going for the growth scans as could see baby again and got extra scan photos too.
