[QUOTE="azure, post: 1070367, member: 39639"] Remember that the growth scans are just estimates. The growth is estimated by inputting certain measurements, so if the baby is in an awkward position then the measurements might not be spot on and so will affect the size estimate. However, if you're genuinely worried, then speak to your midwife to put your mind at rest. I had an extra growth scan because of concerns - which turned out to be ok. Regarding the placenta, there are only certain things they can check eg blood flow to it using a Doppler scan. But there's no definite test for whether it's 'failing'. I asked my consultant a lot about this. If there was a definite test then I'd have been able to go further in my pregnancy, but I was induced early as a precaution, like many women with diabetes, as they couldn't verify the placenta was going strong. Has she remained in the A&E or similar percentile? I looked at that rather than body parts because they can grow at varying rates. [/QUOTE]
