34 weeks. Baby has dropped growth percentiles - should I be concerned?

Yesterday I had a consultant appointment as have already had one pre-term labour. Baby is now at bottom of 50th percentile. Previously I had measured 30 weeks (when I was 28 weeks) & then at next appointment growth had slowed to 32 weeks (at 32 weeks so spot in there).

I'm just concerned at is seems 3 times in a row the growth has slowed. Neither my midwife or doctor seem concerned and I've even been signed off from my consultant care now as I've gone passed the number of weeks where I went into labour last time.

Has anyone had experience of this? DH and I lost a baby last year & in still can't shake that worried feeling that something could go wrong.

No direct experience but I was over for dates at 12 weeks then weight on 28th percentile at 20 weeks yesterday. I'm slightly worried but DH pointed out that if the professionals are not concerned then it most likely is fine. If you were specifically being scanned for growth they will have been looking at cord efficacy and other more technical aspects I'm sure. Eat well and listen to your body and if movements drop off get checked ASAP but I'm sure it's you're in good hands.
