Short femur length at ultrasound scan

[Peridotty]

Hi, I had an ultrasound at 37 weeks and got the results. my baby is measuring 11th percentile for femur length, 23rd percentile for weight, 33rd percentile for abdominal circumference and 55th percentile for head diameter.

Does this predict whether or not my baby will have short legs as an adult? Or does the baby's u/s not predict how long they will be in the future.

My first was a bit like this and his legs etc are all perfectly in proportion. The ultrasound made me worry!

@TildaTurnip
thank you for your reply! how old is your son now?

He is at school now! His head is still top percentile but not obviously bigger than anywhere else.

I remember after a scan crying and calling the unit back up to ask if they weren’t telling me something after looking at his measurements.
