Measuring Small???

[mnfarrs]

So, this is baby #7 and I'm not new to most pregnancy things but one thing we've never encountered is a small baby. Ours have always been big, especially heads, but Wed at our big ultrasound the tech said she was measuring a week behind my due date and that her head is in 10th percentile. Does this mean IUGR? She was pretty vague but said there was nothing to worry about. I am used to great big babies that don't cause me worry (just back aches!!!) Has this happened to anyone? Does anyone know what IUGR actually is? I know I should google it but I'm super nervous about what I'll find. Sigh...

It says that IUGR is usually attributed to poor maternal nutrition or a lack of oxygen....those probably dont apply to you, right?! I wouldn't fret just yet. If there is movement and a heartbeat in the right range and all the organs present, this is showing progress, right? I always wonder how they can even track a pregnancy down to the day, even when there's such a difference in babies when they are born. Good luck...I'll pray for you and LO!!!!!
