Hi ladies. Sorry I haven’t posted much recently – in a mad panic trying to get the house finished before baby arrives!
I had my 28 week growth scan today. All looks ok other than the femur length. At my 17 and 22 week anomaly scans the femur length was at around the 50th percentile. This time it has dropped below the 5th percentile :-/
I have stupidly googled what this could mean and it could be a soft marker for dwarfism or Downs. My NT was 1.5mm, risk was 1:17,000 and nasal bone present so it is unlikely Downs but I can’t get it out of my head that it is a sign something is wrong. Alternatively it could just be that lo will have short legs as I’m only 5’3” (and when I was young I was always little compared to my friends – doctors didn’t think I would be any taller than 4’10”!).
Has anyone else had any experience of this? Did femur length catch-up? xx
