Hi everyone, I've just had a private growth scan and it's got me worried. I paid for a growth scan at 30 weeks for reassurance and baby was measuring around the 20th centile with no concerns (my other two children were born on the 40th and 25th centile).
Now because I'm planning a home birth and my dc1's placenta was found to be calcified when she was born at 40 + 1 I paid for another growth scan today to just check that baby is still growing as he should and everything is going OK. I'm now 35 weeks 2 days, his growth has tailed off to the 10th centile and his abdominal circumference is showing on their chart as the 5.7th centile.
Amniotic fluid, cord blood flow and the placenta were all fine however, which is a good sign. The sonographer has advised me to contact my midwife and get them to arrange a growth scan at the hospital to check everything is OK. I'm absolutely past myself with worry now and don't know who to actually contact over the weekend as community midwives only work Monday to Friday.
What do you think I should do? I know I make smaller babies but it's the fact that his growth has slowed down that's got me really worried.
Thanks K
