small uterus for dates?

[ttcanxiety]

HI ladies has anyone else had this? and what was the cause?
All my scans have dated me due 1 feb even the one i had at 19 weeks 1 day, i am now 21 weeks 2 days and just had an ob appointment and he said my uterus is still below my below button dating at 20 weeks gestation... is this an issue?

Hi Ttcanxiety
It is not a problem. The height of your uterus depends on a number of things including the position of your baby, the position you are in when being measured, the amount of amniotic fluid, and who is doing the measuring. 1cm is nothing to be concerned about.

My DD2 always measured less than my DD1, so we thought she'd be a smaller baby, but she was a whole 1lb 4oz heavier at 8lb 9oz!!
1 or 2 cms, even 3 or 4 wouldn't be much to worry about

:yeahthat:
That's exactly what my DR told me when I had my last measurement.
I was oposite to you though and was 1 cm bigger.
