Short Femur length! Is this normal??!

Question

In every scan, baby's femur length is behind one week. I'm a lot worried about it. Doc says it needs to be around 50 centile. My mind is too disturbed coz of all the What if's running in my mind n I need peace :(

Answer

Unless it's a marker for something I wouldn't be worried.
50th percentile is average, some are bellow and some are above. They're humans not robots.
#1's head always measured a week ahead when I asked my OB if we should worry he said there's no indication of abnormality and this sometimes runs in families and he glanced at hubby who has a large head 😅
When he was born, his head was almost 80th percentile, his height 50th and his weight 60%.
My SIL and BIL are relatively short so their kids were always born between around 25th percentile. Actually the older one is now shorter than his younger brother but they're both as healthy as can be.

Answer

I THINK thats what my scans have said. But they dont give me papers like that, I wish they did! But no one has said a word.

Answer

The doctor told me the same thing. That her femurs length was a little short, but I think she'll come out just fine.
