Hi,

Just wondered if anyone has any experience with measuring 5 weeks small at 38 weeks? Had routine midwife appt this morning and she's pretty concerned I'm measuring so small.

Booked for a scan at PAU tomorrow but trying to put my mind at ease,

Thanks

Also if you’ve have got already maybe send a family member to get you some small baby clothes ready for her arrival.

DD and DS were both in tiny baby clothes for at least 4 weeks.

Asda do some well priced sleep suits and vests!

Yes my mum is an absolute angel and already picked up some smaller bits for me yesterday from Asda

I'm booked in at 6pm tonight, kind of wish it was first thing as I feel like I'm just waiting around now!

Try not to panic - easier said than done, I grant you.
I was scanned at 39 weeks and the baby was measuring as on 1st percentile (at times had been below chart measurements in previous scans). Had planned c-section and a very healthy, full term, 7lb 8oz baby was hoiked out...no one had any idea where she had been hiding!!
