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

    I agree with Saffy, my bub was born by CS 3 weeks ago as her growth was dropping off (plateaued around 35 weeks). She was also breech though. Abdominal circumference was the main thing that had stopped growing with my bub too, head circ and femur length were pretty much fine. My ob is the only one here that will attempt breech deliveries vaginally, and he told me that he wouldn't take the risk and that I must have a CS because bub is more likely to get distressed.

    All the best with it, every extra day is a bonus. I saw it that bub would be better nourished and much safer on the outside, and she was perfect at birth. Hope your ob lets you have some choices about your birth too
