Fetus Size Matters

• Baby fetus at 28w2d We were told today that our baby fetus size is small. As of today after our Antenatal check-up, our baby is approximate 930g. According to the doctor (not OBGYN Specialist), the size of our baby fetus should be approximate 1.1kg ideally. We were advised that this growth could be because: - Baby naturally small (Genes/Parents) - Baby might be diagnose with down sydrome - Mother dietary After hearing from the doctor, I did a self research and find out that the ideal size for our baby fetus is not 1.1kg but 1kg. I know it's differences is only by 100g but 1kg is alot closer to 930g than 1.1kg. Can anyone here enlighten me? We are both trying to not be totally affected by the doctor's advice. The doctor could be right, but the the doctor could also be wrong. The tolerance of an accurate ultrasound proven to be in a window of 2-4weeks. #advicepls

Hi mama, don’t worry about baby’s size. I faced the same situation during 28 week growth scan and they did a counselling session about possible reasons. But my gynea was not concerned much and in my case both me and my husband are on petite side. All the way till delivery baby was on smaller side. He was just above 2.5kg when I delivered at 39 weeks +. He’s 18 months healthy boy and growing well. Sometimes, I find in the hospitals here they just follow the protocols and share all possible causes with parents. We just need to be strong and stay healthy for our babies. All the best for your rest of the pregnancy journey!!
