Baby measuring the same from last fundal measurement

I’m 34 weeks and just had my usual midwife appointment. I have measured a couple of weeks ahead the past two times I’ve had the fundal measurements done however this time I had no change from two weeks ago. I’m measuring 34cm which is the same as last time. I’m just panicking a bit as she’s booked me in for a growth scan on Sunday to check her growth and I'm going insane knowing it’s 2 days away. She asked me about movements and while I am definitely feeling her move, the strength of her kicks and jabs aren’t as strong as they were at about 32 weeks. At the time I of course googled it as I felt her regularly and did the standard lay on your left side and count 10 movements in and hour and she passed every time, however I wasn’t sure if it warranted going to get assessed and reliable websites said it was normal for baby movements to change around 32 weeks so didn’t think much of it. But now of course I’m in panicking mode and scared I’ve ignored signs baby isn’t well. Baby has been moving like crazy today which I told my midwife too so she didn’t send me to get checked. My midwife seems to think baby has dropped and this is why I’m measuring the same. Has anyone had any of this in their pregnancy?

I didn't change size between a few appointments and got sent for a scan each time, with a 2-3 day wait. Each scan was fine and baby was growing although they were wildly out with her weight - I had a scan 2 days before she was born which estimated her at nearly 8lb and she was born at 6lb 13.

But that was my baby. While I'm sure yours is fine especially if your qualified midwife is happy to wait, if your mum instinct is querying that then it's absolutely fine to ask to be seen today. I not suggesting complaining or making a fuss, just calmly asking to be seen sooner and assessed for your peace of mind and baby's health.
