Percentiles dropping

Hi had my 28 week midwife appointment today and am on 5th percentile but at my 25 week appointment I was on the 30th percentile. Midwife didn’t seem overly concerned, has anyone else had this, I’m so worried. X

My little girl dropped from 73rd to 34th percentile

@Molly Sapsed did they refer you for a scan?

They noticed It at my 28 week growth scan so having another one next Wednesday

If that's based on bump measurements, I.eouldnt be too concerned. They're really inaccurate

Is it based on bump measurements only?

i don't think it's standard to start measuring before 28w so I assume she isn’t too worried as you’re only just 28w now. I would imagine if you’re measuring smaller next time, they will probably refer you for a scan. Like others have said, the tape measure thing is so inaccurate though, so try not to worry x

@Victoria yes bump measurements only, but I am only 4 foot 11 and small in size so can’t ever imagine I’m going to have a massive bump/baby x

@Mia she has referred me for a growth scan and said dr will message within 3 days if he wants to see you or they may just want you to wait until your next midwife appointment in 3 weeks to measure again. I have worried myself and ended up booking a private scan on Friday x

Oh man, I’m sorry that it’s worried you so much so you felt you needed to book a private scan 😔 Hopefully that will give you some reassurance that all is ok 🤞 Sending lots of positive vibes xx

My bump is 3rd Centile and baby on scan is 79th. I wouldn’t worry the bump measurements are so inaccurate. X

@Charlotte thanks for the reassurance. I’m only little so my bump for 27 weeks is pretty non existent! But booked a private scan for peace of mind x

My bump measurement at 28 weeks was over 100 centile but my growth scan a few days later shown 30 centile xxx
