I am now 29 weeks with a girl and after changing doctors I seem to have gotten some better ones but now im worried about my dd. I had ultrasound today with specialist and dd isnt mesuring right. They said she was only in 6 percentile and that her abdomen was smaller than it should be. They also saw a bright spot in her heart and said it was probably just calcium deposit. I am worried about her abdomen being too small. She weighs 2lbs 5oz. That doesnt seem small to me. No baby in my family has ever weighed more than 6lbs born. Anyone elses baby measure small or have smaller abdomen? Im going to start going every week but im still worried. They said if she dropped down to 3 or 1% then they were going to give steroids and take her early.
 
My baby is measuring small also. At 28 weeks his he weighed 2 lbs 1 oz, which he only gained 1 0z over 2 weeks. The Drs said that he is in the 12th percentile on the growth charts and below 10 he would be diagnosed with IUGR. Be he is striving in every other way. I go for another growth scan in a few days, hopefully he's gained adequate weight.
