Anyone had irregular measurements?

Question

At my 24 week scan the doctor decided I needed 2 weeks rest from work as the baby is 100g less weight than he ought be, his legs measures 24 weeks but the rest of his body measured 22 weeks and his head measures 21 weeks. I'm doing very little and upping my carbohydrate intake and not working means a lot less energy & stress (I'm a primary school teacher of 8year olds). Has anyone else had similar experiences? Does anyone have any tips?

Answer

All it takes is the person using the machine to click less than a millimetre one way or the other and it's inaccurate. I wouldn't worry too much (even though I understand why you would). But yeah, baby's grow at different rates and unless there is a massive difference or you've had a second opinion, I'd just wait til your next appointment.

Answer

I went in for my anatomy scan at 19+1 and head and torso were measuring 16 weeks so she just turned the machine off and didn't measure anything else and I went to the hospital and baby's legs and arms were measuring 20 weeks

Answer

At my 19 week appt before finding out the gender she said I was measuring at 20weeks an when we found out the gender that same week they said he was measuring at almost 21weeks. They didn't give me diff measurements for legs an head an stuff just an overall measurement.

Answer

I'm 20 weeks and everything is measuring at 20, but his legs are at 22. So, I think sizing varies.
