I had to have a scan today because of reduced movements. I'm currently 38+4.
Scan showed everything was fine and good measurements apart from his femur.
They are below the 3rd centile and are below the chart now. I have attached a picture for you to look at it. Midwife spoke with consultant and consultant said he was not concerned as scans are not accurate this late in pregnancy.
However, I cannot help but worry!!! I have a condition which has been passed down in the family, I have it, mum, nan and great nan have it. Addenbrooks genetic team was investigating it to see how their was a link but they could not find out why after months of investigating so I was just told that any children I have will have a 50/50 chance of getting it. It's called avascular necrosis (it's a condition causing bone death in the hip bone) and all that have been affected by it are 5ft and under. So now I'm really worried!!
I'm due to have c section on Monday anyway when I'll be 39+2 but I feel like I want him out now 😞 anyone been through something similar? Thanks
