Mine was 97th when I was 28&5 x

Mine is the same but the midwife doesn't seem to be bothered, just keeps saying the baby might be on a smaller side

Is this by fundal measurements alone?

Yep I’m being scanned every 3 weeks atm and she’s been between 5th and 7th percentile at every scan with her femur being the smallest part! Complete panic at every scan it’s so stressful! 😩 I can’t tell you if your definitely going to be induced but from research etc if baby is struggling to grow towards the end for certain reasons like placenta not working as well as they’d like then they will take them out early ❤️

Me too! Baby's generally ok size wise but his femur is measuring at 7th percentile and now being scanned every 4 weeks and under a consultant and found the first consultant appt so overwhelming and my anxiety went through the roof!! 🙈😔

I have to go back on Saturday for monitoring and then a scan on the cord and something else. Then a growth scan after that. She has measured smaller now then she did at 26 weeks. Off the measurements of my belly its grown 1cm in 2 weeks. I know she is really far down and breech. My anxiety is killing me x

Mine was bang on the 10th centile at 28 weeks. They didn’t seem that bothered 🤷🏻♀️ I had a big 8lb 6 baby before so being a dinky this time is all new to me. I do have low Papp-a though so they’ll be checking her growth at each scan

My baby is between 3rd and 10th as well! I’m now having growth scans every 2 weeks, my bmi is higher so was already supposed to be having growth scans, will be having more now that she’s smaller! So far I’ve been told it’s nothing to worry about, she’ll just be very small! I’m 30 weeks and she weighs around 2.3 at the moment! Got another scan tomorrow morning so fingers crossed she’s grown a bit more!! They said my planner, cord and blood flow etc is all working fine!
