I've been having fairly regular scans as I have been measuring small by the useless tape measure method throughout. All the scans up until this point had shown the baby is on the 50th centile. Had a scan on Thursday at just over 34wks to check growth and the stomach measurement had dropped to the 30th centile, all other measurements were still on the 50th centile. The sonographer did a Doppler which showed the blood flow was ok and sent me up to day assessment. They checked all the usual stuff and all is normal but they want to see me twice a week for monitoring. I'm seeing the consultant tomorrow (if he's there). I'm just wondering why this might be happening as there is no obvious cause and what they are likely to do. Is there anything I should be asking? I had pre-e last time round with my twins but it was not unexpected since they were twins. They were eventually born at 35+6 and were both classed as IUGR. Current predicted weights with this LO is 1.6kg but last time it totally overestimated DTs weight so I don't have any faith in the estimates.
