Hi,
I had my 20 week scan on Friday of last week and was referred to a specialist Wednesday of this week as my baby's femur length was a day behind where it should be at this stage of my pregnancy.
After seeing the specialist on Wednesday he assured me that my baby's bones were bright, straight and looked healthy, however all the long bone measurements were just coming in short.
Now, I myself am only 5ft1 and pre pregnancy weighed less that 8 stone and my partner isn't exactly big in build or height either. So I feel that I was never destined to have a big baby, more than likely a smaller than average one however I am still really worried. Also, we had our downs test at 12 weeks and the results came in very low risk.
I have another appointment in 5 weeks to check the growth rate so I am being monitored however I wanted to know if anyone else had had a similar experience and what the outcome was?
