Hi, I am 32 weeks pregnant, and 2 weeks ago, my baby's femur bone measured out to be in the 13th percentile, which is a concern because anything below the 10th is considered abnormal. His abdominal circumference is in the 77th percentile, and his weight was 3 lbs, 14 oz., which is a pretty good size! After researching online, I have read that a short femur could indicate down syndrome or dwarfism! All of my triple screen results came back negative, and so far all ultrasounds have looked great! I am only 5'0 tall, and my husband is about 5'10. So, he could just be short. If he had down syndrome, would I kind of know it by now or not necessarily? Also, has anyone experienced a baby with a short femur that ended up being normal???
