Low papp-a - bubs smaller than average - anyone else experience this?

Weight guesses are really inaccurate during pg, if that's what it was. My first bub was born weighing less than what was guessed at in a scan two weeks earlier. And like someone said, this early, just a small difference in measurement makes a big difference on the chart. The skill of the technician plays a big part too.

Hope it all goes well.

No advice, just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you and your precious bubba (but I agree with the others that 24% is pretty good!)

Thanks everyone! Hopefully bubs stays at the same percentile for the next scan. It makes sense with what your all saying that the difference between percentiles at this point is probably tiny.

My last two were both little bubs, yet my last ne we did u/s every month and then every couple of weeks. I was told very early on the my bub wasn't growing well and that she may have to be born at 28 wks, then 30, then we see how the next scan would go, and they also wanted me to do a amnio at 34wks there about, which I declined. Happy to say, I made it to 38 wks when we had our c/s. She was 2375 gms and even now is still little at soon t be two. She is doing well though.
My little girl was under the 10 th percentile and was even I think at times lower than that quite a bit, I would be able to tell you exactly as my scans are packed away, but you can look up under the high risk prgncy thread for my user name and it should show.
I wish you all the best, take care and I hope you have an improvement with the next scan so you don't worry too much.

Aww hon she is going to be beautiful and perfectly sized when she arrives on the scene ......EEEEK! (Can't tell i'm excited much!! )

I try not to get too focused on what scan size says. They told me DS was going to be huge. He was 3.8kg's so not this huge baby they were anticipating, so I know for a fact that they can be wrong either way.
