Short femur?

Question

I just had a 33w growth scan and while baby is following his growth curve accurately, I noticed his femur is charted much lower than the other body parts. The dr didn’t mention this (which I assume is a good thing) but I noticed it in the paperwork after I left. Has anyone else had this on a growth scan? I’m hoping femurs are just hard to measure at this point  in gestation 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Answer

It probably just means their legs are normal and healthy but shorter than average as we’re all different builds. My baby also has short legs just like me. If it was out of the healthy range and it was a problem your doctor would have mentioned it :) x

Answer

My son did, but he was an IUGR baby and everything put his head was behind.
