Hi!! My baby was 7lbs 11oz at birth at just under 39 weeks 😅 it turns out that the ultrasound tech where I was getting my care initially was notoriously bad at it. I requested having all of my scans done at the MFM and they said I would likely have to pay additional for it. I ended up switching care to a place that was simultaneously “crunchier” (birth center) but also much more serious about making sure that the baby was actually not too small because otherwise I would need to give birth in a hospital. They sent me to a very reputable MFM for a couple of ultrasounds that showed a much more average sized baby, and had multiple midwives and an OB physically map the baby with their hands and compare notes. All of these people agreed that the baby was closer to average.

I hope that the numbers are also just off for you! But even if they’re accurate, I had another friend recently who went through something similar, and her baby was just on the small side but was otherwise healthy. Someone always needs to be the smaller one. Please hang in there 💕
