Should I be concerned? Growth seems to have slowed

I had a routine midwife appointment last week and she mentioned that my fundal height was measuring at 29 weeks although I was 31 weeks. I am under consultant care due to severe hypermesis which has caused me to lose approx 3.5 st since I became pregnant, although I was overweight to begin with, my BMI is approx now 26.
I mentioned this to my consultant today at my 32 week appointment and she sent me straight away for a growth scan and said that they would send me back to her if there was any concern.
At the scan the sonographer said that everything was fine and it was ok to just see my consultant in two weeks as planned, however I can see on the report that babies estimated weight was previously in the 60-70th centile and 26 weeks and is now 26th centile at 32 weeks. Should I be concerned? The head and femur measurement were only slightly lower but the abdominal measurement was highlighted with a red cross on the growth chart and was clearly not growing. Im worried this is a sign that i'm not eating enough for the baby to grow?
Can hardly eat and still vomiting 6-10 times a day.

Not sure OP but just wanted to say it sounds like a really tough time. I’m sure someone will be along shortly with some advice.

As long as your baby is growing and you’re above 10th percentile you’re absolutely fine. I’ve also had slowing growth and been advised this.
