Hi, I had my antenatal appointment on 9th and baby is measuring a lot below the 10th centile at 26+2 the midwife tried to get me a growth scan on the same day but unavailable so I have to wait until Monday 12th. Just wondering any one else experienced this and what happened with delivery for example early etcSmile

Hi @aine0812 Is this the first midwife appointment where they've done a fundal height measurement? I was measured at 25+1 as below 5th percentile, had a growth scan 3 days later and all absolutely fine. Fundal height is not always that accurate so try not to worry as your little one has plenty of time left to grow, plus you get to see them on screen again which is always nice :)

My little girl was below the 10th centile too. I kept having growth scans every 2 weeks which she was still showing below but all of a sudden at one growth scan she had a massive growth spurt and is now showing in the middle. They said if she was still showing small they would of induced early (37/38 weeks).
My little boy was showing big when I was pregnant with him and he came out 6lb 15oz so not big at all. Sometimes they aren't always correct :)
Hope everything goes well for you and bubba has a growth spurt!
