Hi,

Had a growth scan today. 32 weeks.

Measurements were:
HC: 306.0mm
AC: 270.5mm
FL: 61.4mm
EFW: 1848.0g

Does this seem small?

Thanks.

OP did they not give you the centiles?

Did they not tell you at the scan?

It sounds average to me. Almost four pounds and they can gain half a pound a week at this stage so you're on track for a 7-8 pound baby.

On the report it said ‘EFW plots on 29.9 centile’ x

That's a perfectly normal centile then. Why do you think they're too small?

Yep sounds fine. Also there is a margin of error for all measurements taken on ultrasound. What is causing you worry?

29.9% just seemed small for 32 weeks to me when reading other forums online as a lot were over 50-60% at that stage, but i suppose every baby is different! Do they only start to worry if it’s below 10%?
Doppler flow studies & liquor was all within normal range to
Think I’m just a panicker! x

That's not how the percentages work though. 50% of babies will be bigger than the 50th percentile and 50% will be smaller. Babies are all different sizes :)

I think it was because my fundal height a few weeks prior to the growth scan was on the 50th centile then the growth scan is on 29.9% centile as if there’s a growth restriction but I get that scans are the most accurate x
