Hi. Congratulations on your pregnancy. Didn't want to read and run as I know it can be a worrying time. I had my little girl last year due to issues with placenta (reduced blood flow) and baby being small. I opted out of any tests and my bump measured small at my 28 week appointment and I was sent for a growth scan where issues were picked up. It was mentioned to me that it could have been due to chromose abnormalities or because my placenta wasn't functioning properly. I was admitted to hospital and had daily Doppler scans and 5 days later they decided to deliver my baby. She was born at 29+2 and weighed 1lb 8oz. She spent 8 weeks in special care but did not need a lot of support. She is now 5 and a half months old (3 months corrcted) and is doing so well. Please message me if you would like anymore information.
