Abdominal circumference small - worried

Hi,

We had our 20 weeks scan, and everything was normal. They only said the Abdominal circumference is on the low side (143mm). They've called me back in another 2 weeks for a growth scan and will check again.

I'm very worried what this means, any one have the same situation? Will this effect the baby?

@Limes2021 sorry you’re dealing with this worry. I had this too and small thigh bone measurement as well. They will just keep an eye on you, they will do extra growth scans and plot your baby’s growth on a chart. I’ve heard of it happening to lots of people. You may just have a smaller baby, doesn’t mean anything is wrong.
