I am 32 weeks today and my baby is only measuring at 28 or 29 on the growth chart so I’m being sent for a growth scan within the next few days. Has anyone had a similar situation. I’m super worried and not sure why he’s measuring so small

Yes I measured about 3/4 weeks behind my whole pregnancy with my daughter! I had growth scans every 2 weeks from 30 weeks.. my daughter didn’t measure that much behind she was very much tucked away but was smaller than average on 9th centile when born d

Did she come at full term ? A few people are saying he might be delivered early if he’s not growing much and now I’m panicking lol! X

The tape measure one is very inaccurate. I also got sent for a couple of growth scans because she was measuring small with the tape but when I went to actually be scanned she was exactly where she was meant to be so try and not worry too much! Even the person scanning me told me how inaccurate the tape measure was xx

she came at 39 weeks lovely I got induced as she was small but for reduced movements x

Belly measurements are really inaccurate, could be due to their position etc , could be further in your back I am small for 34 weeks but baby’s measuring fine on growth scans x

Yep I had a growth scan last week at 31 weeks as I was measuring way below at 26 weeks according to the midwife! Had the scan and she’s measuring fine 😊

Great thank you everyone

yes this is the exact same as me. i just had my growth scan and everything is fine, he’s growing as he should and weighing roughly 4lb2 xx

I was measuring too small at one midwife’s appointment so was sent for a growth scan, all was fine, then my 34 week one was measuring too big and was sent for a scan and it’s all fine. I think its a lot to do with who measures and where baby is positioned. Xx
