Drop in growth chart normal? 29 weeks pregnant

[dreamerkr]

Hey guys I’m currently 29 weeks pregnant and yesterday I had a growth scan because I have GD, and there was a drop in baby’s abdominal measurement and head circumference. He was measuring above the 95th centile 3 weeks ago but has now dropped to below 90th centile. I’ll attach a picture of my grow chart. Is this normal at this stage of pregnancy or in GD? Can it be because of my drastic change in diet? The midwife didn’t seem too concerned but they’ve given me an appointment for another growth scan in 2 weeks time. I’m so worried 🥺

Hi @dreamerkr I replied to your other thread about this. Honestly you need to try and stop worrying so much. As I explained the exact same thing has happened to me but they're not concerned as baby is such a good size still, as is yours by the look of your chart! 90th percentile is a big baby.

Just make sure you're eating healthily and don't be afraid to eat either ! Baby will take what it needs, so the doctors have told me.
The fact they're keeping an eye on baby with the scans is a good thing too. Can you speak to your midwife about your worries ?

You asked this yesterday OP 😕You said the midwife didn't seem concerned, I'm not sure why you don't accept that medical advice?

Do you have something to take your mind off all these many worries during this pregnancy? Work or hobbies if not? Honestly the best thing is distraction or you'll go mad!! 😜

I already feel like I’m going mad 😫 worst thing is my midwife NEVER replies to texts or answers calls! I’m so sick and tired. Thanks though guys, I am a little reassured but just pissed off at my midwife. She was so good at the start of my pregnancy and then after that, she stopped responding. 🙄

Baby is still bigger than 90 other babies at same age.
