Can anyone call me down?
Had a growth scan at 32 weeks (I'm scanned regularly due to a previous late loss), and our baby's femur length had dropped from 20th percentile (from 28 week scan) to 9th percentile. Re-scanned today at 34 weeks and the femur has dropped to below the 5th percentile or 3 weeks behind.
The humerus is measuring 2 weeks behind.
The baby is measuring on the 30-40th percentile for everything else including head circumference.
I've been referred to a fetal medicine consultant on Thursday for another scan but in the meantime I've been googling and it comes back with the possibility our baby may have Down's syndrome or dwarfism.
I had the Harmony test done privately in early pregnancy which came back negative to rule out Down's syndrome but nothing is 100% is it?
Can anyone shed some light?! I'm crying and panicking and DH away for work so no one to talk to.
I just feel so unlucky given our history of losing our son in a previous pregnancy. To get so far along again and for something to go wrong just has me in bits.
