Hey guys I had a growth scan at 28weeks and baby was measuring on the 90th centile
went for my 32 week growth scan and baby has dropped to 50th centile
i have another growth scan in 2 weeks but should I be worried about anything.
they said the baby is healthy and everything was fine when they did the babies scan.
baby is weighing 4 pounds now. And on the previous growth scan baby was 2.5 pounds… I’m really confused as baby has put weight on
any one had anything like this before?

I really wouldn't worry, this happens all the time as the process of estimating the weight from a scan isn't all that accurate.The baby is growing just fine as you've said and is all healthy as you've been told.

All it means is by some, really quite roughn estimate out of 100 babies at the same gestation yours was thought to be the 90th largest previously and now is the 50th.

Don't over stress if they saying your baby is healthy. Just wait for the next scan and see.

I also had a drop, I just can't remember how much it was. My baby was healthy and was just born small, which made him even cuter.
