My LO is measuring 2 weeks smaller than her actual weeks, Im 36 and she's measuring 34. Does this mean she'll be late? God I hope not! lol
 
no i dont think so, i was always measuring a couple of cms small and i had him on his due date :)
 
Arianna always measure small too and I was induced.

I think it also goes by family sizes.... my hubbys family are all small... my MIL is 4ft 12in.... she comes up to just above my elbows when I have heels on!!
 
i was always measuring 2cm over but emily was only 8lb 4oz
I think if you are within 2cm under to 2cm over then the MWs arent really concerned and everything is normal
 
My friend measured small throughout her pregnancy and they said that her baby would be 4lb something and to buy early baby clothes. They induced my friend a week before her due date and her little boy weighed 5lb 13oz which isn't that small. Have you definately got your dates right?
I am sure the docs will keep an eye on you to make sure nothing is wrong but you will probably just have a smaller than average baby.
 
All the scans Ive had have agreed with my dates so I think they are right. Hopefully the measurements wont make too much of a difference just hope that she's not really late because she's a bit small

I was 13 days late when I was induced with Jake and he was measuring fine so you could be late anyway.
 
the measurement is just a guide, if they were concerned about you, they would scan you.

at 36 weeks luke measured 30 weeks he came 3 weeks early and was small but perfectly formed. i think its nice to have smaller babies as they stay babies for longer, as long as they are healthy of course.
