19 Week scan small AC

How small is "small"?

I think its important to remember that there is a fair amount of room for error with scans... a couple of mm's can make a huge difference to what percantile the measurements are in....

Did you get a copy of the report? Did they mention a repeat scan in a couple of weeks???

If you have a copy of the report I would give your mw a call this morning and go over it with on the phone. No point worrying yourself silly if there is no need!

My first was "small" he was above average at our 20 week scan but at a scan to check position at 34 weeks it was apparent that at some point he had stopped growing. It was very scary to hear so I can understand how you are feeling! His growth picked up again and by the time he was born he was fine (still "small" but healthy).

Good luck hun, will keep fx that everything is fine and you just have a petite baby

We had the opposite issue. DD was measuring big for dates, right up to 38 weeks. The scan was way out though. 38 weeks she was supposed to be 3.8kg according to the scan. Finally delivered at 40+2 weighing 3.86kg. There's a large margin of error, a large 'normal' range and as long as everything else checked out ok then I'd try not to worry - easier said than done though I know! Also, any chance your dates might be out a few days? Chat to your MW though - that's what she's for. GL.

Actually the will have advised on the scan report if they think another scan is needed (normally in 2 weeks time) and your lmc will still need to refer you. No point rescanning a few days later as it wont paint a clear picture of growth.

Thats what i meant, but you said it clearer - i had a problem on my scan and they rebooked me for 4 weeks time on the spot. I didnt mean that they'd say come back tomorrow - i hope that wasnt too confusing!
