Femur length only on 5th percentile - should I be worried?

Just after some anecdotal advice really…

I went for my 32 week scan today and the results shows that my baby is measuring well above average for his growth, however his femur length is only on 5th percentile. I know anything smaller than that is a cause for concern…

His short femurs compared to rest of body had been pretty consistent throughout pregnancy however he’s recently had a huge growth spurt in the rest of his body.

I’m really quite worried, the scans make me so anxious:

Does anyone have similar experience and were there any issues at birth?

Thank you
