anxious
i’m a ftm , & this is my first pregnancy.. my babygirl is measuring in the 11th percentile right now, i am currently in month 6 im 25 weeks and 3 days. i am carrying really small i can actually still pass for not pregnant with clothes on .. but i feel her moving just fine and everything looks normal on anatomy scans. i had a scan last month and once they determined 11th percentile due to her size .. they asked me to schedule another so i went for imaging again yesterday, now they just moved me up to high risk at that appointment and are saying they want to monitor me weekly because my placenta is still low lying and her umbilical cord is on the bottom she’s also breeched😅 sorry ik that’s ALOT. i am just anxious on potential risks, is there anything i can do??🤦🏽♀️ and has anyone else experienced these issues??
side notes : ( me and her father are both small, he’s 5’8 130 i’m 5’3 145..) i also didn’t even start showing until i hit the beg. of 5 months (i was 125lbs before pregnancy weight)

How’s the baby’s heart? Brain? Lungs? If they did not detect any anomaly on the anatomy scan stay calm and positive! I know it’s hard since they detected my baby has kidney issues and I freaked out a bit, but in most cases even the anomaly he has ends up in nothing. I have a close friend the baby was measuring very small, but they are also small parents (both 5’3”) and the midwife assured them baby was fine.

I carry small as well - this pregnancy and my previous. I’m just now popping frr at 28 weeks imo but I’m sure I could still pass as not pregnant if I tried. Idk about the placenta being low and umbilical cord but I can say being breeched rn is fine. I had to be hospitalized this go round bc I started leaking amniotic @ 26w. But at the hospital I was breeched and by the time I was transferred to the other hospital a handful of hours later she was head down and has been ever since.
