Big drop in growth from 27 to 29 weeks petrified

Hi ladies I hope you are all well and sailing through your pregnancies ☺️ I was just looking for some advice if anyone has ever been through this before…

I am currently 29weeks and 2 days pregnant
I had a growth scan at 27 weeks exactly and everything looked fine I will attach a picture of scan report, fast forward to Thursday this week making me 29 weeks I was sent to the assessment unit for reduced movements which triggered them to book me in for a scan Friday making me 29 weeks and 1 day and the scan showed there had been very little growth since the last scan and in-fact my little girl had now dropped from the 37th centile to below the 10th centile, with her head and legs looking tiny and Fetal weight only going from 2lb 4 too 2lb 9 and fluid levels had dropped from 7.3cm to 4.8cm all percentages were down on this scan report apart from her abdomen I was sent straight back to the assessment unit for a heart tracing which took just over 2 hours to meet criteria and was booked in for a scan on Thursday with Fetal medicine so not even a week later it was the wording of the doctor on the assessment unit that worried me her words were the good news is I don’t need to deliver your baby today but that doesn’t mean I won’t need to deliver her tomorrow 🥺 at first they were going to admit me then she tells me I can go home but to monitor movements very closely as that was my main reason for attending Thursday what is confusing me is he estimated weight is now 2lb 9oz which seems to be normal range so how has her growth dropped so much has anyone been through something similar and could offer some advice I am driving myself mad and obviously the stress isn’t good at all, I had a very traumatic labour with my son 4 years ago suffering prom at 30 weeks with a failed induction at 34 weeks leading to emergency C-section due to haemorrhage. I will attach a pic of both scan reports.

Hi OP no advice but wishing you all the best. Hopefully it falls within the margin of error of scans x
