36 week growth scan

Looking for some reassurance or similar experiences. Today I am 36 weeks and baby is weighing 5lb 13oz. Last growth scan was 32 weeks 3 days and baby was weighing 4lb 10oz. She isnt quite hitting the next curve and they want me to come back at 38 weeks for a growth scan that just precautionary. She said its all fine but it has set my mind racing. Anyone have any similar experience?

Sorry you are are stressed. If they aren't worried I would try not to panic.
Was there any particular measurement they were worried about?
I had my 36 week scan today at 36+4 and baby was measuring 5 pounds 4, up from 4 pounds 2 at the 32 week scan. It was only JUST within the curve and they weren't worried. I wasn't booked in for an extra scan so I would just take it as precautionary and remember that if there was something worrying, they would have said❤️

Im not sure, the markings were all higher on the growth chart than the lsst scan, i think only 1 stayed the same but none went lower. I think she was just a bit lower than average.

I wouldn't worry, they are so cautious they would definitely have you in before two weeks if they had any concerns at all. Mine were all pretty much less on the graph than last time and at 32 weeks estimated weight was 20th percentile, where as this time it had fallen to 8th. My sonographer wasn't worried at all and confirmed it would be my last scan. See what they say in two weeks but before then, try to think positively that they are being cautious and not worry too much about it (I know easier said than done!)

I m very anxious today i had a growth scan (35weeks and 1day). Can you tell me if everything is ok? Cause my doctor insists that the AC is big enough

@Katerina7 what on the report are you worried about? It looks like the AC is measuring 35w6days which seems ok, unless I'm missing something

in my experience the growth scans are not very accurate anyway so I wouldn't worry anyway. As others have mentioned if they were concerned they definately would have told you to come in sooner than 2 weeks, they are overly cautious when it comes to babies! They told me my baby was measuring 6 lbs 2 weeks before he was born, he came out at 5 lb 5 lol so wayyyy off x
