Had my baby at 35+6

I spontaneously went into labor on June 25th! He was already over the 99th percentile and was born 4:28 pm on the 26th, he weighs 8 pounds 14 ounces and he’s a little longer than 19 inches long, no nicu time but he is jaundice and we’re still getting that together, all in all I’m happy with how my labor went it was my first time going into labor naturally, I got iv pain meds just because I like them I didn’t really need them honestly I just like the way they make me feel lol, and I labored until 8 cm without the epidural but I didn’t wanna push out a big baby without one, and the pressure was too painful. He did get stuck and had shoulder dystocia so they had to intervene really fast to save his life but I couldn’t be happier!

Emergency growth scan

I just went for my 28wk midwife appointment and my bump is measuring the same as it was at my 24 week one so I have been booked in for an emergency growth scan tomorrow. I am really worried about what this could mean as she said it has to be done either today or tomorrow, I never had this with my first pregnancy so just very confused amd upset. Any idea what will happen if baby is really small?
