[quote=Anonymous]I went through something kind of similar. My baby was measured at the 50th percentile at her 20 week ultrasound. I had to have regular ultrasounds because of another issue, and got concerned as I watched her percentile go down - 40th, then 30th, then 20th and 10th. When we hit the 4th percentile at about 36 weeks, the doc was concerned too. Being in a low percentile isn't a bad thing alone, but it's unusual for a child's growth in utero not to continue at a regular pace, I guess. I was induced at 39 weeks in large part because the doc thought that the baby might grow better outside the womb than inside. (That's a sucky thing to hear!) She was born small but heathy, and is now 9 months old and small but 100% healthy. My husband is 6' 3" and I'm 5' 7" so it's odd that we'd have a small baby (our other two kids aren't), but she is a perfect, happy little munchkin. Hope that my story is helpful somehow, and I wish you and your baby all the best.[/quote]
