20 Week Scan - Measuring Small

[SazzyJ15]

I went for my anomaly scan yesterday and everything was fine but they said the baby was a tiny bit small. The consultant said they weren't worried but have booked me in for another scan at 25 weeks.

They did however let me know that it's a girl (or they're 95% sure anyway).

Has anyone else been told their baby is measuring small at this stage?

It's my second baby and my lb was 7 lb 12 oz at birth.

I'm just wondering if there's anything I can to do help the baby grow. I was very shocked so didn't think to ask the consultant at the time.

TIA

Did they say how many weeks you were measuring at? Or did they just say 'measuring small'?

Measuring small could mean that your due date is off (fairly common), not enough amniotic fluid, or you are small yourself or have tight abs (in great shape).

I wouldn't worry too much as long as everything else is normal, you could just have a smaller baby this time or your due date is slightly off.
