Baby measuring small at 20 weeks scan

My both my babies are small this one I’m currently carrying is in the 22 percentile but girl if u see me im small 😂😂 and short and boney so I don’t know what they were expecting

Did they check your placenta and send you for extra scans?

I was told the same thing but they told me it still falls within normal range so not worried. They didn’t refer me to foetal medicine or required extra scans

yes and no , they recommend me to eat more protein and scheduled me another ultrasound specifically to check the baby weight and stuff again

have you since had a scan to check growth? x

yes but outside uk in a private hospital cause NHS wouldn’t offer me anymore. In the next scan baby had grown a bit more than last time and the gynecologists said there’s nothing to worry about. The next one I have is at 34 weeks but I can’t wait till then so I think I am going to have another check in a private clinic 🙈. I am a bit worried how the growth is going

I’ve had a small baby before so I have to take aspirin until 36 weeks. Have they not recommended that? If your baby is in the normal range then I wouldn’t worry. I spent my last pregnancy worrying due to them and my little one was perfect x

no they haven’t mentioned this yet. I think it’s a week and two days behind where it should be. I had read you can take aspirin. It’s a rainbow baby, so I think I’m just so anxious when they say anything that potentially could be worrying! c

I completely get this, my last baby was my rainbow baby and at 20 week scan she was diagnosed with ventriculomegaly and it ruined my pregnancy with offers of termination up until the day I gave birth. So I completely get it. Did you EDD change or be off from your own dates?xx

well.. I struggled to fall pregnant and my periods were all over the place so maybe. It’s a possibility. I’m off to foetal medicine Monday for a scan so should know more then x

it’s changed from the 11th to the 10th to the 7th based on early scans and 12 week scan x

please let me know how you get on. I personally think your little one will be absolutely perfect and fine ❤️ my due date has changed from 14th to 10th which is crazy as I only did it once and got caught out 🫣 xx

Of course I will! Oh bless you! Thank you for being so lovely xx

is your foetal medicine appointment tomorrow? Sorry for asking just been thinking of you but these posts don’t have dates on and days/weeks roll into one xx

No I had it last Monday. We measured on the 7th percentile. They told me 95% small baby or placenta problem. 1-2% chromosomal and was offered the amniocentesis which I declined. Got to go back in four weeks. Been so upset and worried all week, trying to stay positive x

I declined amniocentesis and let them do genetics when she was born. I wasn’t risking anything. It’s good they’re keeping and eye on bubba, it’s so easy for people to say try not to worry but it’s so hard not to and makes it harder when it’s your rainbow baby (as my last baby under foetal medicine) was my rainbow baby.
So is it just baby is measuring small? Is placenta etc all fine and no abnormalities…xx

They said currently my placenta is working fine, but they will keep an eye. Everything else looks good, all long bones good and all organs healthy. So it would appear that hopefully it is just overall small?

that is so reassuring for you. I think your bubba will be just perfect. I’m always around if you want to message xx

How did the genetic testing going with your daughter? Thank you, it’s just the waiting for the next scan! x

all came back normal xx
