A member asked:

When a fetus is "measuring small" how is that determined? wouldn't it just mean that the fetal / gestational age is off?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes and no: Yes, if the gestational dates are off. No, if they are not and the biparietal diameter of the fetus does not "measure up" to the appropriate age indicating "small for gestational age or intrauterine growth retardation.".
