36th percentile at 34 weeks?

Question

I had a growth scan done last week at exactly 34 weeks. I went back to Dr today and he said that baby is in the 36th percentile? 
Is that good or bad? Dr didn't tell me anything other than that.. I'm a bit worried.

Answer

It’s only bad if it’s under 10th percentile I was in the 43rd at 34 weeks which was average not big or small :) don’t worry your baby is fine! Also they don’t take in account your or the fathers size!

Answer

My daughter got down to the 12 percentile around 34 weeks when I was pregnant with her. I went in for a scan almost 3 weeks later and she went up to the 20th. They were going to make me have a csection if she went below the 10th. He said that she was probably just going to be really small when she’s born. Gave birth to her at 41 weeks and she weighed 7lbs and 15 oz. a lot bigger than what he thought she would be. 
50th percentile is where the average baby at that gestational-age is in length/weight.  10 is low and 90 is high. 
I wouldn’t worry too much about it unless your baby gets into the low percentile. Are you measuring behind too?
