Due to my previous history of eclampsia and HELLP syndrome, and having an IUGR baby, I'm having 4 weekly growth scans this time.
Growth has been measured at 20, 23, and 28 weeks. Estimated foetal weight was at 44th centiles at 20 weeks and is now at 19th centiles at 28 weeks. All measurements have dropped on the centiles, but baby is still growing. The doctor I saw at 28 weeks wasn't my usual consultant, but she didn't seem concerned about growth at all. Dopplers were normal.
Is it normal for baby to drop centiles while still in utero?! I know it would be cause for concern once they're born! Don't see consultant now till 32 weeks when next growth scan is. They don't show us the scan report at the appointment, so it's only now, a few days later, I've looked it up and picked up on it.
