Had a growth scan today and the sonographer said everything looked fine and that she had no concerns. I noticed later baby's head diameter is really really small, despite circumference being normal. My midwife said she has done a fetal medicine unit referral for advice but generally seems happy with her growth.
I'm naturally a little concerned - trying not to Google anything... has anyone else been in a similar situation?

How many weeks are you? Scan have about 10% inaccuracy
I am 28 + 2. BPD was tracking small but well within normal range at 20 week scan.

If consultant was not worried it means that it is probably fine it says that the further away you are on your pregnancy the more inaccurate the measurements are
Yeah the sonographer was very chill and said she had 0 concerns.

My midwife said that part is hard to measure as I was also worried. Like Anna said, try not to worry as they weren’t worried.

Hi! My baby’s BPD is measuring small as well, I am 34 weeks today. At my growth ultrasound last week BPD was measuring 31 weeks. As easy as it is to worry I don’t think it is anything to worry about. I have not seen anyone other than my OB about it. He said as long as they are seeing it growing he’s not concerned. Hope this helps because I know I’ve done so much worrying and googling over this!

I’m going through this. I’m 32 weeks, they said baby is at less than 1% for bpd .. so 7.27cm measuring 29 weeks. My doc said she’s not concerned but wants another scan done to make sure. I’m low key freaking out.
