Percentile drops

I had a growth scan at 28 and 30 weeks and baby was on the 97th percentile for both of those scans. I had a growth scan today at 32 weeks and baby has dropped to the 50th percentile, only gaining 1oz in 2 weeks. I have gestational diabetes too so the drop is quite alarming. How worried should I be?

I had a growth scan today also, the same thing has happened with me. Baby was growing nicely my last two scans and today I was told baby is on the small side. So they are giving me another scan in 2 weeks. If baby doesn’t come naturally by due date they said they’ll induce me. I also have GD aswell. Did your diabetic team not talk to you after your scan?

@Alicia I'm already having scans every 2 weeks but they've decided I need to be scanned twice a week now due to the massive sudden drop. The diabetic team were happy with what they were seeing on their behalf, but my consultant and midwife weren't happy with what they are seeing. It appears they don't communicate with each other at all. I'm not on any medication so completely diet controlled, so I don't know if I'm restricting baby's nutritional intake? Diabetic team just told me to keep doing what I'm doing.

Ahhh okay, I was every 3 weeks but now 2 also. Oh wow really. I suppose just to keep an eye on baby. Yeah to be honest I’d just take more of the diabetes word for it than anyone else’s. Yes I’m the same just diet controlled. I feel like I haven’t eaten enough as I’m scared to spike. So I’m thinking the same. I’m sure everything will be ok, good they are keeping an eye!
