Downward growth trend?

I had my 33 week appointment today and was told the growth has went from the 75th percentile 5 weeks ago to the 50th 2 weeks ago to the 35th this morning.
I'm now booked in for another scan next week, and one in 2 weeks. If the trend continues they will induce me. 

Has anyone else experienced this? 

Re: Downward growth trend?

  • I have not experienced this.  But I will say all the ultrasounds and growth scans are estimates.  To give an example, at an ultrasound for my first he measured at 7 pounds 14 ounces on a growth scan and 1.5 weeks later he was born at 6 pounds 6 ounces.  For this pregnancy, my fundal height measured the same two weeks apart so they are having me do an ultrasound this week.  💁🏻‍♀️. If they thought your issue was a true emergency, they would’ve sent you to the hospital for immediate assessment!  Hope all goes well at your next appointment.
