Subject: 34 week ultrasound questions. . .
> My OBGYN had me have another ultrasound at 34w 4days due to small
> measurements. I asked the technician who completed the ultrasound
> yesterday if all of the baby's measurements were in line with each
> other. She said, "Not really", but they are all within a week of each
> other, with the biggest measurement being the baby's head (it was about
> a week ahead). Is this abnormal? Is it a marker for any genetic defect
> in the baby? I asked the technician but she said that she couldn't
> answer those questions because she was not a doctor.
>
> Also, she said that the baby weighed about 4lbs 7oz. Is this a little
> small for 34 weeks?
>
> Thank you for any advice and answers that you can give me.
