    The different in measurements is so tiny I wouldn't worry at all. As the scans are further along, the more their genetics play out and conform less to the 'averages' - remembering it takes biggies and smallies to make averages...

    I had a 36 week scan and they said short legs, big tummy, small head (about 4 weeks difference in dates). I left thinking I was going to give birth to a turtle!! Then I thought about it and it's such tiny measurements (1/2 cm etc) that I realised it didn't matter. Bub was born perfect, actually has long legs and a normal tum and head!! I think the dates they give for every measurement is VERY misleading, worrying and also based on an average of so many babies that are totally different sizes.x xoox
