So as of yesterday our Dr. had concerns about the baby size. My belly was measuring, and has been measuring, two weeks behind schedule. For example, at my 32 week appointment, my belly was measuring the average size of 30 week belly. With Brayden, I also measured small, but still had a good size healthy baby. My doctor was thinking, all is PROBABLY okay and I am just carrying our girl similar to Brayden, but wanted to lean towards the side of being safe rather than sorry. One concern was that I was measuring small because the baby is small, possibly not getting enough nutrients, etc.
We had our ultrasound today and all is looking perfect! There is an "apgar" test that they do for babies before they are born, based on various things such as amount of fluid, movement, size, etc. Our little girl scored 8 out of 8! Size is no longer a concern as she measured to be about 5 lbs & 4 oz. and over 18 inches long! This size is comparable to the size of an average baby that is 36 weeks along (we are just 32 weeks along). Got some cute pictures that I will post soon! :)
