My boys were 8lbs 3 ounces at 37 weeks and 6lbs 4 ounces at 35 weeks 4 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/measuring-small-in-2nd-pregnancy#post-2202851 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 09:59:47 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2202851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I measured small one week, but the doctor wasn't very concerned about it. I was measuring back on track by my next appointment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/measuring-small-in-2nd-pregnancy#post-2202841 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 09:49:40 +0000 Corduroy 2202841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I measured small with my first and I'm measuring small with LO2. Last week's growth ultrasound showed that everything looked fine. This LO measured slightly smaller at the growth ultrasound at 38 weeks (7lbs 6oz) than LO1 did at 37 weeks (7lbs 8oz). I'm glad I got good enough measurements to alleviate concern but I don't put a lot of stock in them. LO1 arrived at 40w5d weighing 6lbs10oz. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/measuring-small-in-2nd-pregnancy#post-2202779 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 09:05:09 +0000 Pumuckl 2202779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never carried as big with my second as I did with my first. She was a whooping 2.75in smaller than her big brother and about a pound lighter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/measuring-small-in-2nd-pregnancy#post-2202709 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 08:18:46 +0000 Shantuck 2202709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I measured small most of the third trimester and was getting regular ultrasounds. My son ended up coming early at 38 weeks but was 6 lbs. 3 oz. and was perfectly healthy. It ended up being a non-issue for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/measuring-small-in-2nd-pregnancy#post-2202690 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 08:06:26 +0000 getjazzy 2202690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I measured ahead with my first at several check points leading to them doing a growth ultrasound and he was 8lbs 5oz. With this one, I haven't measured any larger than I should at any point so it's definitely possible to measure smaller the second time around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/measuring-small-in-2nd-pregnancy#post-2202687 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 08:03:02 +0000 Truth Bombs 2202687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I measured small through out the whole pregnancy and had a perfectly healthy baby born at term weighing 6lbs 7ounces. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/measuring-small-in-2nd-pregnancy#post-2202681 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 07:59:24 +0000 Alivoo01 2202681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I carried small but that was because my placenta started decaying way too soon. I also had very low amniotic fluid levels. DS quit growing at 32 weeks. I delivered him via induction at 37 weeks. He came out screaming and totally healthy. Just small at 4lbs 13oz. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/measuring-small-in-2nd-pregnancy#post-2202644 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 07:19:24 +0000 mrsjyw 2202644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tend to carry small (did with my first even though he was 8.5 lbs at birth), so I wasn't surprised the doc told me I'm measuring behind last week (I'm 33 weeks now). I started out weighing less, have gained less so far, and am def better about drinking water = less swollen this time around. And last time I was pregnant March - Nov, this time Nov - July.</p> <p>Hugs!! I'm sure all is okay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/measuring-small-in-2nd-pregnancy#post-2202642 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 07:17:55 +0000 mrsrugbee 2202642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just would like to hear experiences of other moms...</p> <p>I always measured right on track in fundal height with DD. Same with DS, but my last appt at 27 weeks, my FH was closer to 24 (I was 22cm at 22 weeks). I've noticed I've gained less weight this time and have less water retention in my face. </p> <p>I guess I just expected to be bigger this time, since its my second and its summer time. Reassure me!! </p>
