Femur Growth Reduced - Please Help

I'm currently 29 weeks pregnant with my first baby. At the 20 week scan everything was normal and all measurements within 50th-60th percentile. I went in for reduced movements at the weekend just gone and ended up having a growth scan. This scan found that the femur length is now in 5th percentile whilst everything else is still 50th-60th. They want to do a further growth scan in 2 weeks but in the meantime I am absolutely worried sick. Google suggests Down's syndrome or Dwarfism. Has anyone had a similar issue and if so what was the outcome?

She is absolutely fine, perfectly healthy 😊She does have short ish legs but me and my husband aren't particularly tall so she was never going to be a basketball player!

I wish I had never wound myself up so much by googling, it really ruined the end of my pregnancy. Hope all works out ok for you.
