What should I do? Bump not growing fast enough. Loosing weight, low iron.

I’m 37 weeks almost and at my appointments my tummy has not been following the same growth chart it’s dropped onto the next line down on the chart I was on 90th centile at 28 weeks, at 33 weeks I was on 70th centile now at 36 weeks I’m on 50 centile. Also lost 5kg since week 28. Midwife didn’t seam worried. My iron is also low and my infusion I had at 25 weeks hasn’t fully worked and was told I will need another but midwife didn’t even check my blood when I seen her said she will check it at 39 weeks which in my opinion is far too late to fix if it is low then.
i emailed the Tommy midwife’s and sent them a photo of my growth chart and told them about my weight loss, tbey said this urgently requires a growth scan. My midwife is only available on Wednesdays. So it’s Thursday…. Should I call the maternity assessment unit?
should I just leave it another week?
i don’t know what I should do

I would definitely ring the number for the day assessment unit and see what they advise. It's better than worrying for another week, they will be able to help you even if it's just reassurance. Phone them now and see what they say.
