baby measuring behind :( 26 weeks today

[mo0nangel]

Well I had my "20 week" ultrasound today and today by my lmp I'm 26 weeks but baby was measuring 9 days behind I'm so worried! Did anyone else have this and were told they're baby was ok??

My second son was measuring behind my entire pregnancy. They watched me carefully (I was high risk anyway for preterm labor) but he was healthy and perfectly fine.

My baby measured behind at 36 weeks and they were a little concerned and told me to come back for a follow-up scan a couple of weeks later. He was fine just quite small at 6lb 3oz despite being born 9 days late. xx

My son was a full month behind! At 27 weeks i had a csection because he was measuring 23 weeks and no longer gaining weight. Despite a 4 month nicu stay he's'a healthy 3 year old! A bit of an extreme example but thought it might reassure you

Thomas always measured behind and Sophie ahead in later scans. It doesn't usually mean anything. Some babies have to be small and some big.

According to my LMP I should be 31wks, but I've had 3 scans, two in first trimester and one at 20 wks, and they all dated baby back one week. So I'm 30 wks.
My only concern is baby ending up being bigger cuz my daughter was born early at 36 wks (induced due to my high blood pressure) and she was 7lbs 11oz. So if this baby is behind but not actually (I'm still skeptical) then im afraid its gonna be huge. I have to trust my Dr tho, she says since I had 3 scans that its accurate that baby is behind. Baby is healthy so far, no concerns at all. They are going to check lots on baby's size in case it is big, so I have some relief there.
I'm sure your baby is fine, and they may do another scan later to check growth.

wll in my thirteen week ultrasound I was actually 12 weeks and 5 days and baby measured 12 weeks and 6 days. So I'm just worried that baby was measuring fine and now baby is behind but I wont worry about it anymore. I will trust in the Lord

9days is fine. They give you 2 weeks either way.
