Femur Length 5th Percentile

[satya]

Don't stress. It just means she'll be short - 95 kids out of 100 will be taller than her - no need to worry.

I can't remember the exact percentile now as I've had so many percentiles thrown at me since then but his femur length was really low putting him in a very low percentile. Like you I started to worry. He was born short - 49cm. He's growing but still considered short for his weight and age. All his bodysuits legs are too long for him.

As for the weight I was told I'd probably have a 7 pound baby but they said it can go half a pound either way. Brock was born 7 pound 13 and needed assistance to get out due to shoulder distocia. When he grows out of clothes he grows out in the chest, not the legs like a lot of bubs do.

Try not to stress. She's just going to be a shorty. I know how hard that is. I was so surprised when they put Brock on my chest & he looked so normal. I was kinda expecting teeny tiny legs that didn't look right in relation to the rest of his body but he just looked completely normal and just like his dad - exactly what we expected from the 3D pics.

Cheryl I have no advice to give i'm sorry as my knowledge in this area is very slim.... just want to offer some hugs and some warmth and support. Thinking of you over the next 3 weeks and your little girl and I know all will be fine. She will be born healthy and just perfect
You've been through so much with your pregnancy and you deserve a happy ending

Try and keep busy and your mind occupied on other things as hard as that is.... can't wait to hear your announcement soon!! Can't believe you are so nearly there!!
