Hi Rahjah
Not only does your baby's growth slow down a little but the amount of amniotic fluid also decreases. I don't think that there is anything to worry about.
Hi Rahjah,
I measured small for dates with my bub. From 30 weeks onwards I was always 3 weeks behind. My wonderful OB that kept a very close eye on me from then on. I did carry small ealier as well, but im thin and first bub so he wasn't too concerned until 30 weeks. We had some extra growth scans done and 2 weekly CTG's at the hospital and a weekly appointment with my OB to make sure everything was going well. I felt fine and was feeling heaps of kicks and movement. At 37 weeks he decided that an induction was necessary bc bub still wasn't taking in the fats deposits she needed. I had a very quick and simple labour, all done in 3 hours and gave birth to a healthy but little baby girl weighing 4lb 11oz. We spent 9 days in hosi but everything was great. She is now 5 months old, i fed her for 4 months and has just started having some rice cereal in the mornings and loves it. She is energenic through the day, with 3 naps and sleeps from 8pm till 7am in the morning. Don't get me wrong we have our tough days, but in all she's perfect to me.
I wouldn't worry about a thing, stay positive, keep healthy and active and im sure everything will be wonderful. I would love to feel all those special little kicks and turns in my tummy again, treasure them whilst u still have them.
Best of luck.
