Been booked in for a growth scan on Thursday, baby is measuring to small (28cm) at 30 week and 4 days. Anyone know why this would be? xx

The fundal height isn't accurate. It depends on the position of baby and your water levels etc. but I had a small baby. I was scanned fortnightly from 20 weeks until 30 weeks and then weekly from 30 weeks. I was induced at 37 weeks. now my daughter is 10 days old, small but perfectly normal! everybody is a different size. I wouldn't worry

The midwife said she wasn't concerned but she was measuring a bit small so she booked me in for growth scan @winterbaby95

I was sent in the other week for a growth scan at 35+6 as the height of my uterus was 38cm. Turns out when I got to the scan I was indeed having a big baby. But its not always right Xx

@jordan1410, See. No need to panic. Your baby is most likely perfect and you get an extra scan, always a bonus x

I just looked online and it says 30cm is the average for 30 weeks lol please stop googling. You'll worry yourself silly. @jordan1410

What? No that's not right. I'm only 38cm at 38 weeks lol and I'm not measuring small. I'm measuring just fine according to my notes. Don't google ffs!!! X

The fundal height is never that accurate because babies hunch up or stretch out making the measurement possibly wrong by up to 2-3cm either way so I wouldn't worry. The scan will be great as you'll see baby again @jordan1410
