Femur bone measuring one week behind ?

Question

Hey guys I’m a little worried can anyone please help ? I’ve had my scan at 16 weeks and 5 days. Everything on the my baby measured within the 16th week except of the femur bone which was measuring 1 week behind. The weight and everything else were perfect and all caught up. 
Does one week behind on the femur bone mean something ??

Answer

Just means your kid has relatively short legs. Not enough to be of concern or that you would really even notice if you weren't measuring it against average

I’m sorry I have no idea! Just wanted to say you should probably discuss it with your dr or midwife if you have any concerns. I hope baby is okay and healthy! X

Answer

I wouldn’t stress about it. Our baby was measuring small at the 20 week scan as well. Like 10% percentile small. So we did a scan to check growth at 32 weeks and she had grown enough to put her up to 2 days behind. It can change a lot. But if you are concerned just ask your doctor. I am a worrier so I asked just to get piece of mind.
