At this time the numbers are usually averages and the differences are larger later in pregnancy. Some people are taller or shorter and usually it is down to genetics or even baby position (like if the baby has decided to hide a foot). The most important things are the milestones in organ development at this time so there shouldn't be anything to worry about. Just remember baby birth weight range is very high and your baby is becoming a proper individual. For more assurance it may be worth talking to your midwife or a helpline or looking for statistics on size but I really wouldn't worry :-)

I was just hte same, at 32 weeks I was measuring 29cm. By 34 weeks I was back on track. I think he was just saving himself up for a growth spurt!
