Baby’s stomach measuring under

[Tiger96]

I went to my 20 weeks scan yesterday, everything was “normal” and in the averages except baby’s stomach which is under 5%, so they want to re scan me in 3 weeks time which feels like a life time away, she couldn’t tell me why and said we will see where we are at in 3 weeks, I am worried sick, is it something I’m doing like not eating enough, I am 5ft 2 and very small so maybe I’m just having a small baby but seems 20 weeks seems very early to be told this compared to other forums? Anyone been or going through a similar situation could give me some reassurance it would be hugely appreciated 🤞🏻 thank you.

I got told this after 20 week scan and ended up having regular scans as a precaution. I am also a small person, so not surprised, but felt very anxious! I eventually opted for induction as I had also had some reduced movements, and baby is now a healthy but skinny toddler.

My sister had this too, baby was fine just petite x

Oh and we are all 5'2 .. I also had growth scans second baby was only 6.2! Had a small bump when being measured every time .. he had to have a little heating thing not sure of the name when he was born as he couldn't get warm. Hopefully all is ok, I think it will be sometimes just smaller babies but they have to do these checks just to be safe x
