babies growth below 10th percentile at 28 weeks dropped slightly lower at 30 weeks.

Im 30+2 and i had a growth scan at 28 weeks and babies estimated weight was 1042g, roughly 2.4oz. Under 10th percentile on the growth chart. So they booked me for a scan at 30 weeks. Had scan scan yesterday and babies estimated weight is 1280g roughly 2.12oz. Dropped lower than last point on my growth chart. Have to have placental dopplers twice weekly. Ctgs every second day until my next growth scan at 32 weeks. They said if they baby continues to drop on the growth graph they will have to deliver her prematurely. I had a steriod injection yesterday and having another this morning. Just incase. I worked out the baby would need to gain a pound in the next two weeks or it will drop on the graph again. If she only put on quarter of a pound in 2 weeks last time im worried she wont put on 4 times that in the next scan. They havent found anything causing it yet. Just wondering has anyone been through same thing and baby been fine in the weight or any stories where it ended up being plancental problems. Docs dont give enough.info or reassurance sometimes. Thanks peeps x

Yes sort of. But since I didn't have any drs appts after 20wks they didn't pick it up until 36wks. My funeral height was behind so sent me for growth scans. Turns out baby is only a week behind, but her tummy is 3wks behind. They're worried my placenta isn't giving her enough nutrients. I've been having ctgs every 2 days, plus ultrasounds etc. But because I was already term by the time they picked it up they haven't given me anything. Ctgs have been fine, growth scan at 37wks was 2400gms. They were a bit worried about that. But scan at 38wks was 2800gms. They were happier with that, still having the ctgs, my last one is tomorrow, they are doing a stretch and sweep on Thursday and they're inducing me at 6.40am Friday morning at 38+6wks. Because although the weight is better her tummy is still too little, so she'll be born with a normal sized head and a scrawny little body! They want to make she she can feed properly on the outside as inside isn't doing so well.
