Is it normal for baby to measure two weeks behind?
Falling Behind Constantly: your baby is measuring further and further behind each time you go for your antenatal check-up, then this could mean that your baby has stopped growing. They checked blood flows to the placenta and they were fine.
Why is my baby measuring 2 weeks smaller?
Some babies are small because their parents are small. But most babies who are small for gestational age have growth problems that happen during pregnancy. When the unborn baby does not get enough oxygen or nutrients during pregnancy, they don’t grow as much as normal. The condition is often suspected before birth.
Why is my baby measuring smaller than my due date?
Babies are diagnosed with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) if they appear to be smaller than expected. This would happen if an ultrasound indicates that the baby’s weight is below the 10th percentile for their gestational age (weeks of pregnancy). It’s also called fetal growth restriction (FGR).
What happens if baby is measuring small at 37 weeks?
If your baby measures smaller than expected, we’ll confirm its size with an ultrasound. “Generally, growth restriction is associated with either maternal risk factors, fetal anomalies, or a problem with the placenta – and sometimes a combination of these situations.
Do they induce if baby is too small?

Can your gestational sac measurements be off?

Is My Baby on track at 12 weeks?

Typically, unless you went through IVF when you know the actual date of conception, the estimated date of delivery (EDD) which tells you how many weeks you are can be + or – anywhere from 1-2 weeks. The earliest ultrasounds for dating are the best predictors of fetal age/dates vs later like the big 20ish week ultrasound for fetal development.
How often do you check fetal growth?
I would wait and get another ultrasound around 12 weeks to check for fetal growth. So long as your baby has grown appropriately during that time, then you should be on track.
