Anomaly scan

Hi ladies,
I just had my anomaly scan today and have to go back for a rescan for measurements & for heart & diaphragm. Baby is only measuring 18+1 when I am 19+5.
Has anyone else had the same thing on having to go back for rescan of heart. From what I can read everything else is ok. Sonographer didn’t give me much reassurance.

Those little bars next to the measurements are centile charts (normally 5th-95th or 10th-90th) anything that plots between them is considered normal - it looks as if your baby's measurements all do sit in the normal range. I am see they have written your previous baby was small so you should be having regular growth scans in third trimester to check baby's growing continues. Regarding the coming back for repeat views - this is really common - babies are awkward and they are trying to see very precise parts! Hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well

That says baby is measuring 19+1, not 18+1. 19+1 when you are 19+5 is totally fine. Babies frequently get themselves into positions where structures can't be visualised and patients need to return for a scan. I wouldn't be worried.
