Growth Scan
I had my 32 week appointment today. I did not see my regular doc, but a NP. She told me she thinks the baby is measuring small, and wants me to go for a growth scan. I am freaking out about this. I feel the baby move all the time. I am overall a petite person- only 4'11" tall and my normal weight is very light. Should I be worrying?
Re: Growth Scan
I had monthly growth scans to make sure my kid wasn't too big. I tried to look at it as yay! extra ultrasounds!
I agree with pp, that it's probably because you're tiny yourself.
I wouldn't worry as it seems like the scan is becoming fairly common now.
I had to go for a growth scan because they said that J was measuring small. He came out at a perfectly healthy 7lbs 3oz.

Thank you for making me feel better
I had growth scans starting at 28 (or maybe 30-32 weeks) with DS. I don't really remember when everything started. I was high risk for a few reasons but the growth scans weren't really a big deal at all. A lot of times, now especially, the OBs are overly cautious and are willing to do more scans and monitoring just to be sure.
DS never measured above the 50% in utero and my doc basically laughed and asked if we expected him to be bigger. DH and I are both not towering giants so having a big kid would have been more of an anomaly than having a small kid.
I hope it all goes well for you.
A million times agree. We go for an ultrasound tomorrow strictly to measure their growth (we go once a month) and every week leading up to them I start freaking out, eventhough I can feel them both moving all the time. There are way too many damn things to worry about!
I'm sure you'll be fine!! Try not to worry about it
