It’s only baby’s arms & legs for us too, all other measurements seem to be normal. Neither of us are tall, I’m around 5ft5 and baby’s daddy is around 5ft6. We don’t have anyone that’s particularly tall on either side of the family either so I’m really hoping it’s just a smaller baby. Just so worrying at this stage to be picked up and you can’t do anything but wait it out. I’m being induced tomorrow at 37+3, so will find out very soon. So ready to have him here! Hope all goes well with the rest of your pregnancy xx
Yep everything else is measuring fine so I’m trying not to worry - we were never going to have a baby with long legs realistically!! Out of curiosity, what did they put the long bones down as from your 20 week scan? Seems odd it wasn’t flagged then on the charts they do. Hope all goes well for you tomorrow anyway. You’ll have to post on here the outcome of baby as I’d be interested to know. I’ve got 15 weeks left of scans and worry but I’m sure it will be fine in the end.
I don’t have access to my notes from the 20 week scan but they had both arms and legs down as normal range and unremarkable! That’s why it’s been such a shock for it to be flagged up at this stage. Thank you! Yes I’ll definitely come back and update you, as I know what it’s like not being able to find much online about similar experiences x
Hey, how did you get on with your birth etc?
I’m currently going through this now at 24 weeks. My 20 week scan shown the long bones being <5% centile. This is arms and legs. We are having extra scans to make sure they are all growing in proportion which so far they are. We are both small. 5ft2 to be exact (including dad) so I’m trying not to worry as I think genetics are just following on. No one in our families are over 5ft 6 really. Are you short?
