Baby tracking a few weeks behind

Just curious if anyone else is experiencing the same. Went today for our routine visit at 35 weeks, I was told that we were measuring about 3 weeks behind based off the measurements of my belly. I now have a growth scan scheduled for the 12th. Our original due date was November 6th. Could my due date be 3 weeks off?? I’m kinda sad, I am so ready to meet our little guy.

This happened to me last week at my visit. I was measuring 2.5 weeks behind (only based on tape measurements). Don’t think too much into it! You might just have a small baby and your due date will stay the same :)

Belly measurements are never accurate. Wait until your ultrasound to give more accurate results. Although those are a bit off too.

I've been measuring a week behind since they started measuring my belly. I was also wondering this! But I think she's just gonna be little haha

If you’re taller, this can happen and isn’t unusual. My belly has been measuring consistently three weeks behind, but a growth scan last week confirmed baby is measuring in the 50th percentile and right on track. Exact same thing happened with my first and she was 7.5lbs at birth. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Both babies apparently have a lot of room to stretch up into my torso instead of outward.
