3rd trimester
Short upper legs

Hi, just wondering if anyone else has been told their baby has growth retardation in the femurs during a growth scan?
Had an ultrasound today (28 weeks) and the femur has barely grown compared to the growth scan at 26 weeks (a bit of flattening is visible).
Need to go for a follow-up scan at another hospital for possible skeletal abnormalities.

We saw a small head on a growth ultrasound at 32 weeks.. I'm also very worried. -

Tina, our girls both had small heads at the growth scan. The first one, who’s now 1.5 years old, was at the 3rd percentile, and indeed, she still has a small head. And the second one, now 39 weeks pregnant, just had her head at the 1st percentile. I have a small head myself, so I didn’t need to worry, and since the first one was also at the 3rd percentile... I’m not too stressed about it.
Do you maybe have someone in your family with a small head? Or yourselves?
