Did anyone's baby's growth slow down during pg?

Im from the pg forum and had a growth scan today and baby's growth seems to have slowed down - in that it isn't growing as much since my last scan at 28wks? Albeit, the weight is 3lbs and 15 ounces.

Did any of you have a similar thing when you were pg but it corrected itself or had to have an emergency carcesain (sp) and baby was healthy?

Thanks

Hi susan, my lo's weight slowed down during the last trimester. He was always estimated above average weight but it seemed to slow quite a bit towards the end and he was an healthy average. Did the midwives seemed concerned at all. If not hopefully you can be reassured that all's ok. x

hi sevans

it is agreed that babies can have growth spurts, and quieter times - as long as overall your baby is consistent, dont be too concerned.

you should have a graph in your notes that correlates to you - have a look on that chart, and see where the growth plots - as long as it is between the top (90th centile), and bottom (10th centile), your babe should be ok.

off the top of my head, a 4lb baby at 32+ weeks isnt a bad size!!

as for a caesarian section - even small babies can be induced, and you can still have a normal delivery
