Hello ma'am and welcome.
Sometimes there can be a slight discrepancy in the age according to the ultrasound and the gestational age, and this should not really be a cause for concern at this point of time.
Please continue to monitor your child's age, and if required, your doctor may choose to initiate steroid shots some time during your third trimester if at all there is a growth retardation (IUGR).
Best wishes.
