19th Percentile??
I am currenlty 35 weeks, I have not taken any aspirin for low papp a due to allergy to aspirin so I am just having more monitoring/scans. When I had my 32 week scan and followup midwife appt I was told the baby is 19th percentile. Apparently normal is from 10th-90th so they said nothing to worry about. They then said when I do my 36 week scan that if the size drops down from the chart that they will consider if they need to induce me!
Has anyone been through simillar and can give advice or share their experience?

I was induced as my son had fallen below 10th centile at 36 week scan. The induction worked and was fairly quick as he was born about 14 hours later. It was painful so definitely consider an epidural.
For the first few months he was measuring between 0.4 and 2nd centile. Doctors weren't concerned as he was following his own trend. He's now 9 months and around 20th centile. Even though he's on the smaller side he's never had any health issues and is meeting all his milestones.
Good luck with your appointment!
I was booked in for a follow-up scan 2 days later and as he hadn't grown I was given the choice of induction or c section.
I definitely wasn't expecting it and had left my car with all our stuff in the park and ride lol. Definitely best to go prepared
