OK I'm quite worried I'm 34 weeks and just had another growth scan baby is tiny was on 14% centile now only 7th% everything has stopped growing apart from femur length... placenta working fine even though it's bi-lobed I'm worried if baby has has anything wrong genetically or could be any other factors (I do suffer from HG) having weekly placenta scans and 2 weekly growth scans. Anyone similar?

Hey, what was your most recent umbilical artery reading? This is a good measure for fetal wellbeing and placental function. I imagine they will continue to monitor every 1-2 weeks and if needed, baby due date may be brought forward. I totally get how worrying this would be, easier said than done, but try not to panic! You’re nearly at the end and don’t forget, growth scans have a huge margin for error! Unless the consultants have suggested that your baby needs extra help or monitoring - stay positive mama! Good luck 🤞

Have they said why the baby could stop growing?
Has your blood pressure been ok? Any symptoms of pre eclampsia?
How’s your diet been have you been able to uptick your protein intake?

Aw bless you that must be so hard,
Have they got an action plan if the baby continues to stay small? Will they intervene?
My baby is measuring small, and I’ve got growth scans every few weeks which is also giving me anxiety.

I’m not sure if this will help settle your anxiety a little, but my first was measured on the 8th percentile during a growth scan at 39 weeks after a sudden drop in size. She was born 6 days later happy and healthy on the 21st percentile. The measurements can be inaccurate with the scans! I hope you and baby are ok and good luck with the rest of your pregnancy xx
