I am 37 weeks and my doctor said that I am measuring only 33. They did the ultrasound and said it's just a week smaller. Anyone else has a little baby? I just hope that I won't end up 2-3 weeks over due! Lol

Your baby may have dropped, throwing off your measurements. Besides... most docs wont let you go past 10 day overdue. Don't worry... baby will be just the right size!

When I was pregnant with my son I was supposed to be 37 weeks when I had him but after he was born they said he was only 34 weeks. Only one doctor said that I was measuring small. They did an ultrasound a week before I had him and they said that I was 36 weeks. I am pregnant again. I am hoping they can get it right this time. Good luck on your delivery.

When I was 37 weeks pregnant with ds2 my fundal measurement was 32cm. Up until that appointment I had been measuring right on. The doctor was concerned so sent me for an ultrasound at 38 weeks. Baby ended being fine just positioned in a way that gave a smaller fundal measurement. It was strange because he hadn't dropped either. I was just carrying him wide and low at that point. He was born at 39w2d and weighed in at 7.6lbs.
