percentiles?

I haven’t been told anything about percentiles! I measured 27cm at my 28 week appointment, so they’ve booked me for growth scan. I remember measuring small for my last baby and she was born 8lb4oz! It’s so hard not to worry though, I’m anxious for my growth scan and have to wait till next week still😫 I’ve been told measuring bump isn’t accurate, so if your last scan was all okay, I’m sure it will be❤️
I was measuring perfect on my 25 week appointment and then hadn't grown at all on my 28 week appointment. I'd gone from 50 percentile to just above the 3rd percentile. Was sent for a growth scan and baby is actually measuring further along than I am..... So I don't really trust the measuring of the bump to be very accurate tbh. X
I had my 28 week midwife appointment today and she didn't measure my bump, there isn't much of a bump at all as I had a overhand belly but she just felt my belly and listened to the heartbeat. I'm 28+5 but I had a growth scan 2 weeks ago and baby was on the 37th percentile and they said he's measuring perfectly
I had my 28 week appt on Tues and measured in 3rd percentile. I was referred for a growth scan that happened yesterday and baby is measuring almost bang on 50th percentile. They told me my baby is average but the size of my bump is smaller than 97% of pregnant people at 28 weeks. If you are slim then you are probably in the same boat as me ❣️ (they didn't measure me at 25 week appt as I had to have it at 23 weeks and I didn't have a bump at all)
At my 28 week appointment I came I between the 10th and 3rd though wasn’t referred for a scan until after I went to triage a couple of days later for RFM - still waiting on the scan, but he was measuring around 23rd at 23 weeks so fingers crossed it’s stayed that way! I am not thin, but I am pretty short so expected to have a fairly compact bump I think!
I had growth scans after every fundal height measurement with the midwives with my first, and every growth scan he was measuring fine. Fundal heights are very inaccurate, so I wouldn't worry until you've had the growth scan
Yes exact same thing happened to me at my 25wk appointment. It really worried me for a day or two until I got my growth scan appointment where baby measured bang on the 50th centile! I wouldn’t worry (I know it’s hard not to though!!), especially if baby was measuring perfect on your 24wk scan :)
