Is My Baby...under Length? Posted: 01-21-05 21:19pm
The chart says that my baby should be 10
1/2 inches long...
But my doctor said that its only 4-6
inches long...
Does that mean shes gunna be short? Or
shes under...Something?
I mean, whats making her not be up to
snuff?

When I went to my first app, they said I
was 8 weeks...
When I went back they said it was a
mistake and I was 13 weeks...
On my last visit (the 10th) my doctor
asked me how far along I thought I was,
and I said "20 weeks" and she said
"actually your 21, and your week starts on
thursday not sunday"
she said that everything matched up with
my lmp quite nicely...
So, I dont know.

Ok...... I hope I can be some help
here..... It really sounds as though you
are worrying about nothing, if your doc
said you were matching with your lmp then
it sounds as though your uterus is in the
correct position and your ultra sound tech
would have let you know if the baby was
small for dates, I know this because all
of my babies have been sfd's and the way
their gestational age was correctly
determained was because I had early
ultrasounds ( between 6-8 weeks)......
I have seen your belly pics and assure you
there is nothing wrong with the size of
your tummy....... I was that size with
baby number one till a few days b4 she was
born....... Strong tummy muscles and her
positioning helped alot....... I didn't
even get stretch marks with her........ I
wasn't much bigger with baby number 2 and
now with number 3 at 20 weeks people still
dont realise I am pregnant!!!!!! My
girlfriend who is 3 weeks ahead of me has
the opposite problem and was being asked
at 18 week if being full term in the heat
( we are in australia) was bothering
her!!!!!
Small for dates babies often catch up in
the last few weeks of pregnancy
aswell....... Hope that helped....
