Stressing to the max

Ok so it all started Friday morning I had a pinkish discharge with some slight cramps. Went straight into the maternity ward they monitored me for a few hours before the doctor came and seen me and done an internal swab thing (sorry can't remember what it's called) he then sent me to another hospital to get a ultrasound done.

I was admitted to that hospital over night had another swab thing done and was given steroid shots then got the scan done on Saturday afternoon. It turns out that the pink discharge and pains were nothing to worry about but during the scan they found that bubs belly is measuring at 29 weeks but the rest of her is measuring spot on at 32 weeks and the amniotic is a little low.

I was then sent home told to see my usual doctor as soon as I can and was told to get growth scans one this week then another next week.

We won't know if she has stopped growning until after the scan but just wondering if anyone else has had the same thing happen or is experiencing the same thing?

Sorry for the long post juat extremely worried.

I did. I was sent for an u/s at 32w because of possible pre-e. DD was measuring fine, but I was scheduled for twice weekly BPPs & NSTs just to be safe. The did growth measurements again at 36w (same tech) and DD's belly measured exactly the same as it did at 32w. It put her belly at less than 2nd% and her overall at 12th%. We started adding cord dopplers to our other testing to make sure she was getting enough blood flow and were told we could be sent to L&D for induction at any point if she started to look worse. We ended up inducing at 39w4d and DD is perfect. She's completely healthy, just small. She's consistently been 5-10th% for height & weight (though she was close to 50th% at birth). Try not to worry, it's possible LO is just petite
