Short femur worry

[Missy38]

I really should stop looking at google 🙈 I've just noticed baby femur was 66mm at 36 +1 growth scan, this is on the 5th percentile while the rest of him is between the 50th and 75th, I did have high risk for down syndrome but had the harmony test with low results and all scans and heart scans are clear, now its stuck in my head this could be a late marker or could he just be a short baby? Has anyone else had healthy pregnancies with short femur x

My DD's measured at 60.9 at our 36 week scan. Her humerus were measuring short too. They sat us down and went through potential outcomes and booked us in for a 38 week scan. Naturally we spent the next two weeks worrying and googling everything. It really was a tense time as I had breezed my pregnancy until then. At 38 weeks they had increased slightly so were pleased they were following the curve rather then static. I was induced at 39 weeks and had a beautiful 8lb 3oz baby who looked perfect. The hospital arranged for a complete X-ray that day and blood tests to determine any genetic diseases but all come back okay. She's 10 weeks now. If you have no other markers the chances are he's just a bit on the smaller side. Think positive and I hope everything works out for you.

Thanks for the reply, mine were 66 at the 36 week scan, they've not mentioned anything about them but it's just me gone so paranoid and reading into everything as at 13 weeks the nt was 3.6 but gone by 14 weeks, so anything I see someone question, I go check and question my results 🙈 gone Into such a bad habit lol, I don't get seen now until 39 weeks but I really hope I go before then baby currently at 6lbs 7 with 3 weeks to go, thanks for messaging though xx
