Growth Scan, short femur Length?

Question

I’m 34 w 1 and I just had a growth scan, baby’s head and stomach measuring just over 35 weeks but legs are measuring 32 weeks, has anyone had something like this before?

Answer

I just went through this! I had an anatomy scan at 34w and they measured the femur under the 10th percentile and then referred me to a specialist the next day. The specialist measured it as the 44th percentile. So they said no cause for worry! I am now 36w3d

Answer

I had a scan last week.  I had the same thing and was very stressed.  Fetal measurements are almost 3 weeks behind head and abdomen measurements.  Have another scan on 3 December then c section is booked for 14 December.  My doctor said baby is small and will be about 2.5kgs at birth.  
Good luck hun and keep us posted.

Answer

I had the same with my first pregnancy and she came out with very long legs so it wasn’t that accurate. 
I had a growth scan at 32 weeks with this pregnancy and the femur length was short as well. I’m not worried. I think ultrasound gets less accurate later in pregnancy because they’re so squished in there. Don’t worry!

Answer

Same here. Big head and belly normal femur.

Answer

I just had a growth scan yesterday at 34+2 and head was in 98th percentile, abdomen 86th and femur was only in the 34th so I believe this is normal!

Answer

Yes, they never have aligned for my kiddos...my baby’s head and stomach are measuring over 40 weeks and the arm and femur is like 37!

Answer

That might be within the error margins of the ultrasound. If your dr/midwife doesn’t express concern I wouldn’t worry too much. Plus if the baby is scrunched up at all it might be harder to get a good measurement
