So this has been on my mind for the past 3.5 weeks and I need some hand holding or some face slapping to move on from it!
My previous babies were 7lb 13oz, 8lb 13oz, 9lb 13oz and so I've said all along that I'm expecting about a 10lb baby this time around. I'm 5' 3 and husband is about 5' 8 so we are both small - I just grow big babies (always tested for GD with full GTT test but always negative)!
Baby at 20 weeks scan was on the 50th percentile (as were all my others). When I saw my midwife at 30 weeks she felt that I was measuring small for dates and sent me for a scan.
Femur length - 17th percentile
Head circumference - 70th percentile
Belly circumference - 70th percentile
With the other measurements so high and the femur length so low I'm starting to worry that something may be wrong with the baby. Movement for this one has always been less than with the previous babies.
Has anyone else had these sorts of measurements and baby been ok?
