in need of reassurance- measuring small

I had a sono tuesday and the baby measured 6 weeks 4 days. That was off from my calculations but the doc said its too early to worry since every mm can change it by a week. Today I had another sono and im measuring 6 weeks 5 days. He is not worried but I am. Anyone had this experience?

Eta the heartrate was good, 145

Re: in need of reassurance- measuring small

I consistently measured 4 to 6 days small and Dr. B always said nothing to worry about. I still worried anyway though. But, I'm now 28 weeks and she's doing great! I guess I should hav listened to him and saved myself some stress :)

I'm sure that must be scary for you. But keep in mind that each measurement can be off by a few days. If your last measurement was overestimating a bit and this one was underestimating a bit then it's totally within reason. If the doctors aren't worried then try not to worry too much either.

If your dr isn't worried, I would try not to worry at this point; it's sooo early! As long as you see the HB and it's strong, I would try to relax! I know it's almost impossible, but I'm sure all is well!!!!

Your dr would be concerned if it wasnt.



Seeing the HB makes your chances of miscarriage go down A LOT!!!

Its so hard not to worry! He measured it a ton of times today and got 6/5 or 6/6. He said hes seen this tons of times with no problems in the end. But still, I cant help it!
