Growth scan

Just had my midwife checkup and she has referred me for a growth scan because he hasn’t grown much since my last appt, has anyone else had this? She said it’s nothing to worry about but I can’t help worry a wee bit!

I had this at my last appointment too! I had to go for a couple of growth scans, one so they could take starting measurements and then another 2 weeks later so they could compare. Mine was fine and they also said it was quite common at this point as the baby can drop or move position. Hope all goes well for you lovely x

I had this when I was pregnant with my daughter. They said my bump hadn't grown at all between the two appointments. Baby girl was fine and born weighing 7lbs 3 Oz. Good luck! X

I wouldn’t worry. Try to differentiate and remember they are measuring you and your bump, they are not measuring your baby. Fundal height is actually rarely representative of your baby’s size x

Fundal height is not a good measurement of the baby's size so try not to worry.

Ahh thank you ladies, I was hoping for response like these, that’s made me feel loads better 💕

I had my 36 week appointment on Monday and the measurements had dropped to just above 10th percentile compared to just above 50th percentile at my previous appointments so was referred for a growth scan today. All was fine at the growth scan, baby is measuring 6lbs 4 which is pretty much exactly 50th percentile so try not to worry as I'd say more often than not everything is completely fine 😊

I’ve been advised to get induced this weekend cause baby has fallen below 10th centile😩 EDD Was 10th oct but could be a September baby after all 🙈 I’m 38 weeks tomorrow
