Are these measurements okay?

I just had a reassurance scan but I feel that it did me more harm than good. I am 14w and 4 days and they measured the HC, AC and FL. The HC was on the 35th percentile, AC pretty much 50th and FL was only 21th. While the HC and AC were pretty much bang on dates, the FL was of a 14w baby, so 4 days behind.
I am quite short (5'1 and DH is not massive either 5'9) so I wasn't really expecting a very big baby. I googled it which was a mistake as a short femur can indicate many things but I think I'm overthinking it. Anyone who's had similar experiences? Other experiences I've read the measurements were below the 5th percentile which I suppose is when is a little more concerning and even then the outcomes were mostly positive, I don't know what do think really...

If there was a concern they should have told you and referred you on. I would relax and stop googling!!

Throughout the pregnancy my baby has grown different bits at different speeds, sometimes his head was further ahead sometimes his femurs were 🤷🏻‍♀️ hospital staff never seemed worried about it at scans and now I'm 33 weeks and it's all evened out, the expected growth by week is averaged over the whole population there's lots of individual variations
