Hello,
I'm looking for some advice or reassurance please as I'm driving myself sick with worry.
At 20 weeks baby's growth was absolutely normal but it did show I have an accessory placenta lobe (basically a smaller placenta attached to the main one). I was told it was nothing to worry about but they would do another scan at 32 weeks to check the position.
My screening for downs syndrome, Edwards' syndrome or Patau's all came back very low risk too.
At my 32 week scan it was picked up that my baby's FL and TL were under the 5th percentile and was referred to FMU for a further scan. All other measurements are fine.
At my 33 week scan just gone it showed the FL and HL are now under the 3rd percentile, placenta(s) seems to be working ok and all other measurements are are normal.
The baby had a very in depth scan and consultant couldn't find any other signs for dwarfism or downs syndrome but she had to advise me short long bones are a hard marker for both. She also said my baby could just be petite.... I'm 5'3 and partner is 5'6.
I've been offered an amino test "so I can enjoy the rest of my pregnancy if its negative" but I'm too scared of the procedure and the result.
Now I feel like I've been left to worry and I'm crying daily which I know isn't good for the baby.
Does anyone have any experience of this or something similar? What was the outcome and how are your babies?
