Has anyone got any experience with this? Had my scan today and everything is fine all measurements and heart etc but the femurs are measuring the 3rd percentile. I’ve to have another scan (bone) one tomorrow

    Yes sadly I have. My daughter had no femurs and no hands. During the US I knew something was wrong, I could see it. They had a doc come in and discuss and sent me to a second opinion where it was confirmed. She also had encephaly. It devastated us. We didn't do our scan until 24 weeks because I'm always very laid back pregnant. Which meant we had to do all the funeral things. We had her a few weeks later. She was born asleep. They wanted me to abort her, I just couldn't do that to her and after seeing her and holding her I'm so glad I didn't. She was an entire little human. I know she didn't suffer and I got to say my goodbyes. I really hope you get better news. If you don't feel free to reach out. Online community was so helpful. All our families were so full of pity it was just hard to be around them. Praying for you! 💛🙏
