Doctor called

I’m 6 months pregnant and the doctor called and said from the ultrasound sound it looks like my baby’s pinky may be smaller than usual it’s worrying me and I’m crying I didn’t like hearing that but she also balls up her hands every ultra sound so how can they know for sure I guess im just wanting to hear from other moms that I don’t have to worry and or you’ve heard this before and everything turned out okay

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!

Owlet Misreading

Last night my owlet sock went off, buzzing red saying that babies oxygen had dipped below 80%. I rushed to check on her and she was completely fine. When I go back on the app to check her oxygen level at the time it says it dipped it says it was 97%. Has anyone else had this?
I’m just confused as to why it went off and caused me such a state of panic to then read normal!
