I feel kinda dumb posting this, because I don't think it's a big deal, but I am feeling a little wigged out about my baby's size. I have been measuring small this entire pregnancy- by about 4 to 5 cm. I'm in good shape, and eating well. I haven't been doing prenatals except to give other midwifery students the practice a few times. I have been measuring my fundal height on occasion, though. Well, the gap has widened. I'm 34+ weeks, and my fundal height was 27-28 yesterday. I know the baby is growing, and I don't have any feelings that there is something really wrong, but it is slightly disconcerting y/k? I know that I can't have gotten pregnant later than I thought because I took a test right away. So would someone reassure me, please? 








I bet your baby has dropped lower in the pelvis. Have you noticed more pressure on your bladder and maybe a litte less lower back pressure?


I am measuring 30 cm at 38 weeks, and measured similarly through my last pregnancy. Ds was a healthy, happy 38 weeker without a single problem or concern. Neither my doctor or midwife has even batted an eyelash at the discrepancy in my measurements according to my week of pregnancy. I know that my dates are spot on. My midwife says that my baby is just really smashed in there!
I guess I should practice my swaddle technique to help her feel at home once she arrives!! Everyone grows at a different rate and everyone's body handles pregnancy differently. I think it would be weirder if there were no exceptions to the rule and every single person developed in exactly the same way at the exact same time. How sci-fi!
