Week 24 Scan head circumference, femur length, weight

Hi mummies! I just did my scan at week 24. Baby Head circumference and long bones were found to be behind GA at around 22 weeks. But baby weight is around 25 weeks.. Gynae said that it's not a concern and told me to reduce carbs.. Just wondering if anyone had similar experience?

It sounds like your baby is smaller in size but weighing fatter. Tbh, it’s not a huge issue because weight is just a rough estimation, there are many cases where baby weighing 3.5kg and less than a week being delivered at only 2.8kg. There is a 20% in weight differences. So actually if you’re week 24 and baby’s weight is week 25, it’s nothing alarming. Follow your gynae’s instructions and advice
