Would you be worried about this femur length?

[gb000]

Had a scan today at 30+4. Everything was pretty average (BPD 73%, HC 37%) except femur length which was 11%.

Would you be worried about this?

The sonographer did have to go back a couple times to try to get the measurement and commented that the baby was all squished up, but she didn't seem worried about the measurement. But of course I've googled and now I am worried!

One of my twins femur is charting at or below the 2.5% line and I'm now 23 weeks - I've been told not to worry about it as long as her growth is consistent she's likely just going to be small all over

(I also googled and got myself in a panic!)

No, I wouldn’t worry. They measure by clicking on the image and if the baby is positioned awkwardly at an odd angle, you can often get strange measurements for legs or arms.

At my 20 week scan my baby's HC was 90th centile, body was 80th centile and legs were 10th centile. Sonographer said she wasn't worried and I didn't need any further scans, but I was worried about the discrepancy throughout the rest of my pregnancy. He's now 3 weeks old and is absolutely perfect... he actually has really long legs! He doesn't fit any of his smaller clothes because his legs are so long! His head was 98th centile at birth and his head does look quite big on his body, so that was fairly accurate 🙈

Thank you ladies! Your views help make me less anxious. I really appreciate it. Honestly sometimes pregnancy just feels like anxiously googling stuff until you pop a human out 😂
