Is everything is in the normal percentiles and the sonographer is not concerned I wouldn't worry. My sonographer picked up on growth changes as soon as I had my scan, they baby hadn't grown as much as expected.

I'm 33 weeks and have GD so I have growth scans every 3 weeks but they have now changed it to every 2 weeks until the end as my babys growth has slowed down ever so slightly but I've been assured its nothing to worry about. If you haven't been told anything bad then I wouldn't worry. I know it's easy to say but if you have any worries then tell your midwife and let her reassure you. Plus the measurements aren't always accurate. My last baby was predicted to be at least 9.5lbs on his last scan and I was induced a week later and he was only 8lbs and my first baby was predicted to be average size and was 9lbs 13oz so they aren't always right x

No just discussing that baby hadn't grown much in 4 weeks but didn't say anything to me

I dipped ever so slightly around 29 weeks, I think, and was sent for growth scans but there was nothing to worry about. Baby was 7lb 10oz one week over so perfectly decent weight. If there are any concerns they will keep monitoring you. I just enjoyed the opportunity of seeing my baby a couple of more times before she was born. 😊

I was having growth scans every 2 weeks. At my 32 week scan they said that baby hadn't grown much. He picked up again at the next scan but always measured small. I had a scan at 38 weeks where he was estimated to weigh 5lb 5ozs but was born a week later at 6lb 6oz. My consultant wasn't worried as said growth scans aren't that accurate but she would only be concerned if a baby showed no growth. xx
