DD was 6 weeks prem but has just hit 6 months adjusted (so 7 and a half months actual). She is weighing in at 13lb. When she was born she was 5lb, meaning she was just below the 50th centipede on the preterm chart. She is now plotting below the 2nd centile. The health visitor doesn’t seem concerned as since she has been on the term chart she has always been around the 9th centile so apparently it’s fine for them to waver a bit.
My main concern is when dd was discharged they mentioned her thyroid level was a little low, would it be unreasonable to ask the gp just to run some bloods for peace of mind, to me it just seems weird she was born on the 50th centile and hasn’t got back up to it yet... she’s a little dot full of energy and may well be petite (I’m not sure where she would get that from as we certainly aren’t) but it would be really nice just to rule the nagging doubt out of my mind!
