Femur bone length? Please help!

Question

I’m 20 weeks 5 days. My baby is measuring exactly as he should in the overall measurements. However his femur length was about 5 days behind. I asked the doctor he is not worried at all. But it got me wondering. Is everything ok ??

Answer

Baby is just genetically shorter then the average baby this gestation! Perfectly normal! My babies always measure long legged with smaller then average heads and bellies! It’s their genetics!

Answer

I’m in the same boat too but nobody seems to be worried except me. I asked my doctor he said there’s no reason to even think about and that all is good :)

Answer

Think about this they are going through your stomach with sound waves so mesurments can be off my son should of been smaller than he was when he was born but the ultrasound is just estimate mesurments

Answer

Yes. Anything over or under two weeks is normal. I’m in the same boat though and can’t help but worry.  At 26 w, my sons femur was two weeks behind while the rest of him was either a week or two ahead . His head in the 86th percentile and his femur in the 3rd. My dr assured me it’s normal but that’s a big difference
