    Some babies are born really small, but perfectly healthy, just as there are some really big but also perfectly healthy babies born at term - they can't make those stupid percentile charts if every single baby was born the same size. Personally, if all is well with the baby and you and there is no cause for medical concern to have more scans then I wouldn't have one.

    I had the opposite problem with my first two sons! The US said my first was going to be 10pd 2oz and the second 12pd 1oz. They were both born at 8pd6oz! If bubs is happily growing then I wouldn't bother but if you need it to help yourself relax then go for it
