I had my 36 week growth scan yesterday and baby’s weight has dropped from the 34th percentile to the 10th. On top of this they also found what they’re querying to be a cyst on baby’s kidney or spleen. I’ve been referred to fetal medicine for them to review and baby has been referred to Peads for when it’s born. I’m super anxious and upset at the moment with all the uncertainty about what happens next. They’ve mentioned I might not be able to give birth in my local hospital and go to one with a SCBU which is 1.5 hours from my house. I understand this may best for baby but with a 4 year old at home I’m just full of anxiety.
If anyone can reassure me or has been through anything similar that would be great!

Im also having issues with growth (drop from 46th to 13th). I have another scan booked for 8th December to decide if im needing an induction or if I can go into spontaneous labour. Im 37 weeks today
My next scan is the 9th and I’m 36 + 3 today. The anticipation is horrible!

I had issues with growth with my first too. Shes 19 months tomorrow. They're more worried about growth this time as hes dropped in centile whereas my first was always measuring small. There is potential that I'll be induced on the 8th or I can choose baby's induction day. At the moment we're working towards the worst and being induced on the 8th. Happy for you to PM me and we can panic and cry together ❤️
