Baby measuring small

Hi, I'm 28+3 weeks pregnant with my 5th baby. I've had 2 growth scans and they have showed that the baby has dropped from the 50th centile to the 10th. They sent me for my second growth scan because I was in hospital for vaginal bleeding when they measured my bump and I was measureing small. There was no reason found for the bleeding. I have another scan in 2 weeks time. I've never had any issues in any of my other pregnancies so this is all new to me. They haven't said anything to me in regards to what's to expect next? Will I be offered induction at 37 weeks? I have said to them the last 2 weeks that I hadn't felt the baby move as much and they don't seem overly concerned. Any advice or similar stories welcome. Thanks

Hopefully you have had some more answers by now. My consultant said if I could get the baby to 10th centile or above they would leave me to go natural but still monitor me. Unfortunately he was on the 5th so I was induced. I think you would know if this was there plan though because I was very much pressured into it from the 30 week mark and finally gave in at 37. You may well have some extra scans and monitoring but I was told a lot of babies can really pack on the pounds in the last little stretch. Hopefully your little one does.
