Belly measured small

I am 38 weeks today and went to my ob. She said I was measuring small and wants me to go back Friday for an ultrasound to measure baby. She also said I could just be measuring small because I am a smaller person (5 foot even) is this likely? Has anyone had to have a growth scan this late because of baby measuring small? #firsttimemom

I’m 39 weeks 5’2 and they told me Im measuring small but they said it could just be since baby dropped and she’s deep in my pelvis.

I’m 5’11 and 39 weeks. My belly was only measuring 35 even though baby is measuring 11 days ahead. Dr isn’t concerned about anything

I was measuring 3 weeks behind on belly. I just had her at 40+3 days she is 6 pounds 19 inches and thriving!

Im 5’3 and 38 weeks pregnant with my second and at my appointment today she was measuring smaller they didn’t want a growth scan for her but it’s because I wasn’t measuring concerningly behind. My first they did a growth scan at 37 weeks to make sure she wasn’t huge because I gained so much and she came out at 39w4d at 7lb 6.5oz so average and this little one has been measuring a couple days behind and was in the 36% at her growth scan. I just chalked it up to my husband and I don’t make large babies atp

I'm 5'2 and they were also telling me I was measuring small. They did my ultrasound and everything was fine with her measurements. Sending you good vibes for your visit as well!

They told me I was measuring small, ultra sound said 6 lbs 11 oz at 38nweeks. He was born 40 weeks and 1 day and weighed 8 lbs 6 oz. Measuring fundal height and using ultra sound are not very accurate at measuring babies size
