Growth Scan concern?

I’ve had 2 growth scans now in the span of 2 weeks and have to go again in 2 weeks as she only gained about 10oz in the past 2 weeks. If she still doesn’t gain much more in the next 2 weeks I’m not sure what will happen? I’ll be 35 weeks at that point, anyone had any similar experiences and can tell me what I could possibly expect? She’s currently 3 pound 14 ounces

Im 35+4 and I’m currently having growth scans, fluid monitoring and foetal monitoring to monitor my baby’s movements atm as she’s showing up small. She has grown a fair bit since my last scan and I had to do the same thing with my son who was exactly 2wks overdue…..he was born a healthy 6lbs 7oz and is 2.5yo now. This is my second pregnancy so I’m not overly worried as I’ve been through this before but when you go in for your scans just ask all of the questions I did and it’s the only way I fully understood. At this stage baby should be on the 10th percentile or above so anything under that is considered small. My girl was 9.5 at the last scan so I think it’s safe to say she’s catching up with herself and we still have 5 weeks to go and they do a lot of their growing the last few weeks. At your next scan I would ask them to explain the growth scan report to you and what’s normal at this stage, what’s to be expected etc which hopefully will put your mind at ease

What percentile is baby? Depending on the percentile and how growth looks it will probably be regular scans and possibly suggest a slightly early induction. I’m 34+5, my boy was on the 4th percentile at 34+2 weighing 4pound 1 ounce,, the scan before which will have been 32+2 baby was 3 pound 4 ounce. I’m having scans every 2 weeks with Doppler, consultant appointments every 2 weeks and am being induced at 38 weeks if not 37 if growth slows more or reduced movements x

Same thing happened to me. I was induced early. My baby was on the fourth percentile. While I was pregnant, I was also told to keep a close eye on my baby’s movements and go to hospital if there were any changes
