Zucchini Problem

We are growing zucchini plants, and the plants themselves look very healthy and the blossoms are huge and nice. When a zucchini starts to grow, however, it only gets about 3 or 4 inches long and about as big around as my thumb and then it stops growing. I am not used to this, as we have always had adequate growth in years past. Does anyone have an idea what is wrong and if there is anything we can do? Thank you.
