Being sent for a growth scan

Hi! I’m 31 weeks, have been to the midwife today and she sent me for a growth scan. Should I worry? I’ve changed midwives and they didn’t seem to measure my uterus in the same way. I’m really panicking and I don’t know what to do. HELP!!!

please do not worry, i had continuous growth scans because they said i was measuring too small, baby was 7lb when she was born xxx

don’t worry! i had the same thing when i had different midwife’s. one of the midwife’s measured above my pelvic bone whereas the other measured below it, so naturally there was a massive change in my growth chart. scan showed everything all good with growth and just was due to the difference in measurements!

I had 3 growth scan as they said my boy would be a really big baby and even induced me because of it and he was 8 pound 14, he is still wearing first size clothes ha, so don't worry about it.

Also having growth scans because fundal measurements are small :) my baby is growing perfectly - please don’t panic.

Measuring fundal height is a bit of a pseudoscience. Ask three people to measure and you’ll get three different measurements. It also depends on your overall height, MBI, position of baby, engagement etc. Do not worry, have a scan and you’ll know where you stand

I wouldn't worry. They used to freak me out all the time over things they were nothing

I’m having more growth scans bc my baby is measuring too big (90th percentile!!)

It’s different for everyone but they’re important nonetheless. Don’t worry too much about it.

I have to go for more scans than what’s on offer because of my BMI 🤷‍♀️ lol still no clue why but I’m just excited to be seeing my bubba again on the big screen ☺️ I’m sure if they had any concerns they would have explained to you why etc so try not to worry hun. My cousins baby was also showing up 9lbs nearly 3 months before she was due but now that the dates close she’s absolutely okay. I think precautions are best and at least you get to see your bubba again 🥰🥰 wish you all the best love!
