My dr. measured me this morning and told me the baby had taken a "growth spurt" and was measuring at 32. My question is, 32 what? I thought you were supposed to measure the same as the number of weeks you are. Does this mean my baby is small? I just don't see how he could have had a growth spurt if he is only measuring 32 (if that means weeks). Thank you for your help!
