Baby's growth has slowed down

I had my 32 week appointment this morning where I measured 29 weeks. I have been measuring on track for all my other appointments so this is not usual for me. My last appointment was just over 3 weeks ago and I was measuring 28 weeks. So basically my baby hasn't grown much at all since then.
The midwife has referred me for a scan on Monday so I guess I will know more then.
I did have covid quite bad (ended up in hospital) at the end of the year so am wondering if this could have something to do with it.
Has this happened to anyone else? If so, please could you let me know what the outcome was because I'm stressing over here!!!

I had to go on bed rest with DS1 as his growth curved downwards around 33 weeks.
Was running around a lot at work and pretty stressed so took a week bed rest and was ordered to eat at least 3 times a day as well as snacks to help.
A week later baby had tracked upwards again but I was monitored throughout.
No issues otherwise and he was 6lb 5oz when born at 37+6!

Hey Op, this happened with me in my first pregnancy, my bump measured 3/4 weeks behind…. Bump
Measurements aren’t hugely accurate in all honesty. I was referred for a growth scan and he measured 2nd -9th centile so on the smaller side. I had growth scans every 2 weeks from 28 weeks and he was born 37+5 weighing 6lbs.

My 2nd was also small, I had growth scans from the off due to
My first being small. I was due to induced as on growth scans her growth had stopped essentially, but she arrived a few days before the induction at 37+4 weighing 5lb8.

Honestly I’d not be hugely concerned by bump measuring smaller, wait too see what the scan shows- and see it as a bonus that you get to see baby again (without needing to pay!!)

@Tokyo21 hey! I’m experiencing something very similar now. Wondering what your outcome was as I’m feeling sick with worry! Thanks x
