Has anyone had a baby that has been plotted on the 30th percentile at 28 weeks and had a healthy birth weight? I’m freaking out because my first born was on the 97th percentile so obviously the difference between this baby is so different. My midwife didn’t comment on whether this is ok or not but I got home and cried my eyes out because I’ve been so stressed in this pregnancy already and now have this to worry about 😭

You just have a smaller baby. I don't remember which percentile mine was in, but I carry small babies and it's always less than 50. They told me my daughter's head was small and wanted me to get more imaging done, but she was just a 6.6 little bean and perfectly healthy ☺️

Same story with me, I'm 33 weeks now and since 28 weeks this baby measures around 30th Vs the 95th+ that my first did all the way. I asked the midwife and also did a private scan but literally it's just a smaller baby, nothing worrying! You should try to not worry either, under 10th percentile is where midwives ask for more scans etc but around 30th is absolutely normal! Sending lots of love!

My first was on 17th centile and was born 6lb 11, don’t panic too much. 30 is fine x

We’re do you find out what centile your baby is on at 20 weeks ? X

your scan report x

were would I find it on there , I don’t see it 😅

On mine, there's a section on the 2nd page called Biometry / Anatomy and one of the headings is 'Centile'. Not sure if all NHS trusts have the exact same layout though!

oh mines only one page and it don’t say that 🥴 x

oh yes I have this bit how do I work out the centile from it ? X

the % shown that I have circles is the centile x

I always carried bigger babies and drs had me worried and they came out healthy I think ur fine just keep eating healthy drinking healthy and being healthy

I was worried for my baby he was in the 11 percentile up until 30+ weeks. He was born 7lb 7oz. Those numbers will fluctuate up and down don’t stress
