No growth since 35 weeks, now 39 and being sent for a growth scan. experiences please

[hanni]

Just been for a midwife appointment today and babies fundal height hasn't changed since 35 weeks and I'm 39 tomorrow so they're sending me for a growth scan later.

Has anyone else had this happen? Or experience of growth scans? What was the outcome?

Worried mama over here!

I've not had that happen but have had many growth scans. They will do the normal measure (length, head circumference, abdomin, femur length), they will be watching for low waters and movements from baby, if they are practising breathing and lastly they will check blood flow from placenta to baby and you to placenta.

It's not as scary as it sounds and at this gestation you won't make much out.

Good luck

Update! Everything is perfect. He weighs a lovely 7lb 2 already. The lady scanning said he was probably just measuring small because he's dropped into my pelvis now which makes sense
