Hello Dear, long bone measuring below the 5th centile may be attributed to genetic factors, possibly inherited from both you and your husband. Following a reassessment in three weeks, if the long bone continues to grow, there is likely no cause for concern. For further detailed counseling, please don't hesitate to contact us
Next Steps
Reassessment after 3 weeks to look for growth of all the long bones
