I am currently going through the exact same thing🥹. My girl is measuring small in her tummy (We found out at my 20 week scan last Monday) I've got the consultant appointment this Thursday🤞🏼.

I'm remaining hopeful that she's just petite and will have a growth spurt (I'm not sure if it was the same for you but the sonographer told me her head, legs, arms and everything else are all normal). They didn't seem too concerned so I'm thinking it's just to be sure and them being cautious 🙏🏼 the midwife told me afterwards that they don't usually do their growth checks till 24 weeks anyway. I know it's hard, but try not to worry too much (I keep telling myself the same!) 🥹❤️

Not this exact scenario but, at my 20 week scan they told me one of my sons kidneys appeared smaller than the other. They monitored it throughout my pregnancy with extra growth scans & when he was born he had a scan done- kidneys totally normal, sometimes these things are just within the margin of error that ultrasounds come with x
