I'm a worried mummy to be.?

Question

heya I'm 33 weeks pregnant today yay but last night i got rushed into hospital as the thought i was in early labour thank god it was a false alarm what it is i had a scan at 31 weeks and the baby was the right size the measured me last night and the baby was still 31 weeks I'm eating fine and the baby is always moving has this happened to u if so does it mean my baby is going to be small?

Answer 1

I wouldn't be concerned just yet. At your next appointment you will have your fundas measurements taken, and if they are still under what they should be I'm sure your Dr will investigate.

Try to relax, you are doing everything right!

Answer 2

don't worry the babies growing but don't worry yourself good luck by the way otherwise they would have told you. besides you should only be worried about when they're out. they get naughty at teerible two's trust me you'll have extremme probs when the baby starts walking.

also i'm not a mother but my little sister she's heading into her two's.

Answer 3

If they said the baby's the right size and you're eating fine then you shouldn't worry. A bigger baby doesn't necessarily mean a healthier baby and good luck!

Answer 4

No not necessarily small - your baby may be just taking a breather size wise while some other body parts are developing that are not as obvious. Have a look at the link below and you will see that between  20 and 36 weeks the baby slows down a bit and concentrates on building some of the other things necessary for life on the outside of the uterus

If you or your partner were small babies then it is possible that yours will be too - patience - not much longer and you will meet the newest member of your family  

Answer 5

you never know, every pregnancy is different

Answer 6

Did they do another scan last night or just measure you from the outside?  Sometimes, different people measure differently, thus getting varying results.  I had a man measure me a few times and he was always acurate and when a woman did it I was always 2 or 3 weeks over because she would start too low on my pelvis.

Answer 7

not at all just relax its normal

Answer 8

no. babies grow to their own size and comfort, ur baby might be really big but its only growing slowly at this stage. calm down.  

Answer 9

awww bless ya, i was like this when i was pregnant, i was worried i wasnt very big....although alot of ppl said towards the end i looked like i was gonna burst, but my daughter was born weighing 8lb 7 and a half....theres no way looking at me ya would have thought i wud have a baby that big inside, ppl  guessed 7lb- 7lb 8....i was measuring 2 weeks behind all the way, dont worry about things like that hun, its the last thing you or the baby needs, if there was a problem the doc would say, enjoy the rest of your pregnancy...the hard work starts when they are here lol....seriously hunni relax, your little bub will be great!

Good luck and wish your baby a happy and safe journey x*x

Answer 10

everything should be ok. if they were worried they would have told you when they scanned you.. they will probably scan you more often in the next few weeks just to check. all babies are different, i had to be induced 4 weeks early because they said my baby was big... he was 8lb 3oz which is big for 4 weeks prem. the hospital will be aware of the baby's size and monitor you.... don't worry as long as your baby is moving it should be fine
