Growth Scan

I had a growth scan last week (36 weeks) and babies growth has dropped slightly. They want me back in next week (38 weeks). If there’s no improvement or she’s dropped again what happens? Do they induce? Has anyone experienced this?

My baby dropped a percentile so my consultant gave me a sweep and then booked me in for induction for 3 days after so it is possible. I think it depends on area/risk/consultant decision x

Same just waiting for my next scan, consultant said if remains small/falling off the growth line they would recommend earlier delivery ie. induction. Worth doing some research though as it's still a choice, many say the growth measurements are not that accurate too. If they are actually small and you go with the induction chances of emergency c section are higher than normal so worth asking about that too if they recommend it
