Growth scan

Hi everyone, Just been for my 31 week appointment and I've been referred for a growth scan as I've crossed a line on the percentile chart, is this fairly common? Should I be worried?

Was it from measuring your bump? If so it is super common because it completely depends how baby is laying. It usually depends how far over you are as to whether you have a scan or not. I had mine measured at 28 weeks and it was over 31 weeks. Went for a scan at 29 weeks and baby was not big and there was nothing to worry about ☺️

@Lauryn yes it was from measuring my bump!

@Ellie I wouldn’t stress too much then, it is super common! I was told my baby was pretty big all the way through except she had a little head which brought the overall size down slightly. She was born at 36+5 (not related to being “big”) weighing 6lb 11 oz completely in proportion ☺️

I wouldn't worry at all this is very common and even with the scan they are really unreliable 😊

they’re not a 100% accurate. my girl was always measuring 59th percentile and came out 98th 😅

I was sent for 4 growth scans due to measurements from bump being off chart. Told I might be having a big baby and he was just under 7 pounds
