Hey lovely. Scans are really hit and miss. My baby was predicted massive, she came out below the 9th percentile! Crazy difference. Take it with a pinch of salt. Those measurements look normal to me xx

I also had my growth scan on Monday i was 28+3 your very similar to me and they told me also to not very! My little girls ac dropped 40% so I’ll be scanned again in two weeks but overall she is still in normal range! A small baby is ok don’t panic and trust them. X

That is a really good weight for a baby at 28 weeks. At my 28 weeks my baby was only measuring 2 lbs 4 oz so now I have to go in every week for a scan....

Hey. Try not to worry, though I know it's hard. My previous baby was born on the 4th centile and this baby was measuring on the 10th centile. So I was scanned every 3 weeks from 28 weeks and he was born on the 9th centile 2 weeks ago, but is thriving. Both my boys have been small, but both are doing well. You wouldn't know my 2 year old was tiny! X
