Small stomach measurement

Has anybody had a baby who's stomach measured small? I had a private scan at 15+5 where baby's stomach measured 88.7mm (around the 23rd percentile I believe) but at my NHS scan 18+5 it measured 124.5mm in the 10th percentile. The doctor said it could be a measurement error but I'll rescan in 8 weeks to monitor the growth. Has anybody experienced this before and what was the outcome? We had a previous loss so everything is scary!!!

Most of my measurements were around the 11th percentile, so on the small side but annoyingly not quite small enough to get any extra scans. I'd also had previous losses so was really worried, but I had to trust the medics. If they're not too concerned, take that as a good sign.

In the end, baby was born 2 weeks ago, bang on 50th percentile.

Babies stomach was on 3rd centile at 3 growth scans, I ended up being induced because of this. They were just small in general! 5lbs 12oz but perfectly healthy. Now a cheeky petite 2 year old ☺️
