I really need some advice
baby is measuring small on the scans, just tiny bit below the 10th centile, but growing by a steady curve. I had a growth scan too, same results, they scared us. Went to get a private scan 2 days ago and their measurements were perfect, everything pretty average, so we were quite happy and relieved! Back to the consultant today, he got the same results as on the private scans, only to tell me baby is too small! I am 5'8 so I am expected to have a big baby I guess, but I was a small baby myself, born full term at 2200g, and my 2 sisters were small too. My concern is that the doc was talking about steroid injections and referred me for another growth scan on Monday. I refused the steroids (for now), as I don't want to take any drastic steps as I don't feel the baby is THAT small. How much can I trust the growth chart they are using and has anyone experienced anything like this? I'm really freaking out here there is plenty fluid around the baby, heartbeat is good, plenty movements.
