I'm looking for any reassuring stories from people who have been in a similar position to me.
I've just had a scan today showing my baby has dropped to the 5th percentile for weight. I'm 28 weeks now. Two weeks ago he was 10th percentile, and two weeks before that he was 20th.
My obgyn has said at this rate, she doesn't expect me to get past 34 weeks. Blood flow from the placenta is still good, so she's estimating 32-34 weeks. But could be before then. She started talking about increased risks of disability which made me panic - I have really bad anxiety as it is, so I tend to fixate on worst case scenarios...
I'm just wondering if anybody else is in this position, or if anybody has had a tiny baby arrive early before? And was everything ok? My first baby was also growth restricted but nowhere near as badly and she was fine.
Any reassurance would be great because I'm really panicking here
