Growth chart - explained

This is my little ones first plot today- it’s the tiny black dot on the black/blue line. The midwife didn’t seem concerned at all but can someone explain what it means and on what line she’s on? Thankyou ❤️

Hope all goes well! I’m measuring 50th percentile so bang on for fundal but at my 20 week scan was told bub is too big so got to go for another scan at 36 weeks so I wouldn’t worry everyone is different xx

I think with the fundal height it’s not super accurate to show baby’s size. Because all women have different size bumps. Eg you’re in the 10th percentile but your baby could actually be in the 50th for size. Since it was your first measurement, I think your midwife would refer you for a growth scan if she was worried as they’re more accurate (still not 100%)
