Did your scan show baby was behind?

[Mumma2three]

Yes I was thinking I was giving birth to a turtle. I had a late scan and they said Head is small, tummy is BIG, legs short. They said measurements were varying between 22-26 weeks????? HOnestly I nearly died. Anyway, she was totally average and about 51cm long!!

My scans were all exactly on par and then the 24w scan said the baby was 10 days behind or something. I was worried about that but my OBGY said US aren't always correct and it didn't mean anything. He did a quick scan in his office and said the baby actually looked bigger then 24 weeks! Don't babies grow in spurts anyway? Try not to worry sweet. If you are still worried, ask for a growth scan at your next US

Well im not too worried because i saw baby moving and heart was beating and the head is huge! Just like the dad haha. Looked so much bigger compared to last time i couldnt believe it and the fact it had somersaulted around to face the other way must be pretty active in there. I guess time will tell knowing my luck now itll have a major spurt and be like a 9lb baby!

at 36 weeks i was showing 31 weeks!
DD is perfect just little - 5lb er thats all. SO i wouldnt be worried

The problem with scans is that they work on averages. Who's average anyway? We aren't all on the 50th percentile as fully grown adults, genes take over and it takes a big baby and a small baby to make an average baby.
