28 week growth scan

I was 28 weeks yesterday with my little boy, I had my growth scan in the morning, he was showing as relatively healthy except for the fact that he’s on the 0.4% on the growth percentile chart, I was told by one of the nurses/midwives they generally don’t like the babies being under 10%, I was taken up to my maternity ward to be monitored with the blue and pink bands they then told me I’d had to come back everyday to be monitored until I had a special ultrasound, and after that i would be monitored weekly, has anyone else had similar experiences and if so wouldn’t mind sharing with me I feel very sad and a bit lost at the moment I believe my little boy is so strong and will be a fighter whatever way but they told me if he stops growing or it slows even more they will do an emergency C/section I know absolutely nothing about it and haven’t been told a huge amount of information if anyone has any of their own personal experiences and wouldn’t mind sharing I’d be really appreciative, thank you for taking the time to read my post

I don't have experience of this but didn't want to read and run! My son was born in the 3% (his small size wasn't picked up on until birth). He is now a very healthy 2 year old, hes small for his age but has no health problems so size isn't always an indicator of health. Hope someone with more experience comes along with more info soon 🙏
