28 week growth scan yesterday

[Littledee88]

Yesterday I had my 28 week growth scan baby measurement are all bang on 28 weeks apart from babies legs they are measuring in at 29 weeks 6 days have been at the hospital again this morning and had a blood test done and have the oral glucose tolerance test done for gestational test done. For pregnancy diabetes. Women doing the scan yesterday said it’s just routine and seems to think it’s just because my husband is 6ft 3 and I am only 5ft 1 that baby just has long legs and will be tall like my husband. Has anyone else had this before?

My daughter had this. His legs always measured longer. He is now 2 and half and is in 3-4 clothes. He is massive. His dad is 6ft 3 so it’s to be expected. Please don’t worry xx

I had a 22wk growth scan yesterday and baby’s tummy was a fair bit ahead! I queried it with the sonographer and she showed me the charts that the computer generates from the measurements. The red dot was sitting within the normal range for each measurement, just not exactly in the same place. I guess we are not all the same when we are born and the differences have to start to show at some point. Lucky long legged baby for you!
