Hi guys, this is freaking me out a little. My bump is measuring ever so slightly on the small side when lying down, but on a scan I had yesterday (28+4) my baby is measuring just below the 90th percentile with a big head!
I'm a bit blooming worried because I have PGP too and I have images of giving birth to a giant!
I'm small, 5'3" and 8st3lbs before pregnancy... What is happening and will this slow down?!? Did this happen to anyone else?

Yup! I'm 31 weeks...my bump measured 3 weeks behind at last midwife appt, was referred for a growth scan to find out babys abdomen is average and head is in the 90th percentile! I've heard such mixed stories about how growth scans are really inaccurate (people being told their baby is huge but they gave birth to average weight babies) so trying to just ignore it for now and be glad that baby seems to be growing fine Smile

Same happend to me,i now have a 15wk old that was only 6lbs 6onz when born, like u i thought she was going to be 9/10lbs she is only just over 10lbs now.

Omg what a relief! My mum was 10lb 6 when she was born (aaaaaargh my poor nan!!!!) So I'm terrified of the same happening to me, haha! I was just under 6lbs and my husband was apparently a very healthy 7lbs 4 so I'm crossing my fingers that it's just a growth spurt she's having!
