Growth scan concerns 36 weeks
Anyone had experience with growth scans? I’m finding the results fuelling me with anxiety! I now have to wait 2 weeks for another rescan at 38 weeks and growth clinic appointment with an obstetrician.
Basically looks like baby has been growing but sliding off the centiles, placenta and umbilical cord function are normal. At the last scan they couldn’t measure his head due to tricky positioning and they had to remeasure the femur multiple times, as they appear to have grown only a little bit in 4 weeks by 5.2mm which in centiles dropped from 41% to 17% and abdominal circumference dropped from 70% to 52%.
I must add my mum and me were both born quite small so was my daughter 2,5kg-2.9kg (under 5.5lb/6lb) despite BMI being on the high side. Not sure if it’s just genetics, I didn’t have growth scans with my daughter so can’t compare.
I had a consultant appointment yesterday and they didn’t feel any additional actions were required as a repeat scan and appt with growth clinic were booked. The only thing I can do in between is monitor baby movement closely, which doesn’t help as I end up over analysing everything!
