Hi there,
Measuring 25cm at 26 +2 today. Being sent for growth scan on Monday. My first baby measured 50th percentile at birth.

Any experiences?

My first measured small and was 8lb 7oz I don't really know how he measured small, maybe position?

Bump for the evening crowd.
My first never had these issues. I'm abit concerned about the implications esp at this early stage. Hopefully it will be ok

My bump measured small both pregnancies but growth scans always showed average/above average size. Babies born 7’7 and 8’2 both slightly early.

I know it’s hard not to worry but the bump measurement is really inaccurate. It’s basically just a screen to reduce the need to scan everyone - friends in over countries have had growth scans as standard.

One midwife tried to tell me I measured small because of my ‘six-pack’ which was definitely not true!
