Growth scan referral at 28 weeks

I’m currently under fetal medicine due to baby’s tummy measuring small. I’ve had an absolute world wind of emotions and it’s been awful, and they’ve told me baby is coming early. Don’t feel alone, the team I’m under now for my growth scans are absolutely outstanding and they’ve helped me so much, I have to have scans every two weeks and have my blood flows measured every week in case my placenta stops working. Please think positive, chin up! & just remember having growth scans or different people involved in the care of your baby isn’t always a bad thing, and at least you know you’re both getting the care you need xx

I’ve been referred for a few growth scans now and everything has been fine. My bump is around the 10th centile but baby is currently measuring a few days ahead and in the 52nd centile. You’re welcome to message me xx

Do not worry about it I’ve just had the same with my last appointment, went today to my midwife and everything is fine , you’re literally in there for 10 minutes don’t worry about it!!! You will be absolutely fine 💙🦋

I might end up going for another scan aswell, but I’m the opposite. The baby is measuring on the bigger side. I’m just hoping he’s staying under the measurement till he’s born.
But I’m sure everything will be okay. Just stay positive, and ever in doubt, call the assessment unit.

I measured 2nd centile based on fundal height at our 28w midwife appointment, went for growth scan and he is at 51st centile - they said difference was likely due to him lying sideways which makes the bump look smaller. Fundal height has such a large uncertainty but they need to cast a wide net with follow ups just in case so I wouldn’t worry!

I am referred to growth scan at 28 & 32 weeks my baby wasn't getting enough blood supply a d also I was anemic in the beginning but I just had my 28 week one last week and my baby girl is thriving. I haven't put on much weight as I'm still sick but she is doing great. I was worrying a lot about all this but I keep telling myself it's just additional chance for me to see my baby. I'm also on baby Aspirin for my preeclampsia family history and potential effects as well. Don't worry it'll be ok if not atleast you will know well in time to get help so in a way it's good thing you are getting proper scan. x

I was referred for growth scans back in early pregnancy. Honestly, don’t worry about them. I was so frightened that my baby would be measuring small when I had them, and currently she’s in the 71st centile. It just means that you get to see your beautiful baby a few more times before it’s born ☺️ and usually the growth scans are fairly quick. Please don’t overthink too much- I think a lot of it is just precautionary rather than it meaning that something is wrong.

I’m also under the perinatal mental health team, feel free to message if you want x
