Why The Babies Abdomen Is Measuring Small At 33 Weeks Of Pregnancy?

Hi I'm 37, 5 feet, 157 pounds and 33 weeks pregnant. I had an ultrasound yesterday and the nurse called today with the results. The baby's weight is good however her abdomen is measuring small. I will know be monitored every week, is this a major concern?

welcome to Health care magic.
1.Yes it needs concern, as its seen in the asymmetric IUGR - intra uterine growth restriction.
2.So as they said - i do suggest a followup in this case.
3.I would even ask for a fetal doppler.
4.If you do needful precautions every thing should be fine . take care.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
