Baby dropping growth percentiles- experiences please

So I'm 32 weeks and had another growth scan today, been having them every 2 weeks- since my first scan 4 weeks ago baby started out at above 50th percentile and today's scan plots them at 10th percentile- so baby has dropped from above 50th to in-between 25th and 50th in first 2 scans and then in last 2 weeks dropped to now the 10th percentile. Where babybis on the graph isn't the issue it's the dropping in growth that is causing issues.

My consultant appointment has been moved up from 15th Aug to next week and another scan will be done in 2 weeks instead of 3 weeks.

Midwife said to me that consultants will want a plan in place and I asked if further drop could we be looking at earlier delivery which she said was very possible.

Does anyone have any experiences of dropping growth and what their consultants decided to do?

I was planning a c-section but not sure if this will still be offered if earlier than the 39+ weeks standard?
I've been induced twice before at 37 weeks for growth and movement issues but the previous 2 growths didn't start dropping off till the later weeks (34-36 weeks)

Anyone had experience of baby dropping percentiles with each scan?

My baby dropped but I was 39 weeks so they induced me to be on the safe side. All was well.

With my first, she had a large dip in growth but then I went back the next week and she was back to where she should be on the curve. They said it could have been 2 different sonogrophers measuring slightly differently.
