Baby measuring below 10th centile, 28 weeks

Hi everyone, just looking for some of your experiences with something similar

My bump was measuring too small at my 28 week appointment, I already have a daughter and was the same with her needing multiple growth scans due to small bump. I assume I just carry small, however when I went for this growth scan the baby was measuring below 10th centile and I need to go back in 2 weeks to check on growth.

My growth scans with my daughter she was always measuring 50th or above centile so not had experience with this and feeling super anxious! Struggling to get through these 2 weeks without constant googling and panicking that somethings wrong! I have a huge biology uni exam the day before my scan which I really need to revise for but I just can't concentrate on anything but the baby at the moment! Anyone been through similar and baby been fine, or anyone needed to have baby earlier than normal?! Thanks in advance x

I wouldnt worry too much (easy for me to say). Centiles are all about averages and some people have naturally small babies, some naturally larger. Yes that can be to do with health issues (large and small) but as hard as it is, try not to dwell. Focus on what you can control at the moment x
