Back from Dr.
It appears that my due date might be moved back a week. It was originally May 6th, but was moved up to April 29th after the level II sono. Well, today at my appointment the doctor said that she expects me to go to the 6th AT LEAST!!! He is head down and my cervix is soft, but other then that no action. She also said that he is measuring a couple weeks small and that if he still is next week she is going to send me to get him weighed. I don't know if I should worry about him being small or not. Neither DH nor I were over 7.5 lbs. so maybe I'll just have a small baby.

I was told this a couple of weeks ago and totally freaked about him being small. Then he totally had a growth spurt is right on track again

Re: Back from Dr.
How much do they think he weighs right now? I'm 36w4d and today I had a growth sono and they said she's weighing in at 5lbs. 9oz. I thought my Dr. was going to say that was small and I asked him about it, but he said it's "normal".

That's the thing they haven't told me any weight guesstimate. They seem to be going strictly by the measurement of my belly, which in my research seems a bit unreliable. I guess I'm not going to worry about it until I have been given reason to actually be concerned.

If he didn't send you for a sono, I wouldn't worry. She measured my belly, then sent me for a sono. Before I could get the appointment, he had that growth spurt.
He was 5lbs, 4oz at 36 weeks and thy said that was normal.
