Anomaly scan

My baby’s BPD measurement is on the 16th percentile, i had to look this up and its something to do with the size of baby’s head. I am worried because thats quite small on the scale.
All other measurements were between 35-67th percentile so closer to the median.

Has anyone had similar at 20 weeks, but things turn out ok?

Mine’s head was also 16th centile and abdomen 76th! Not too worried though as the sonographer wasn’t concerned. I guess at this stage they’re still so small we’re talking a matter of millimetres difference for a big percentile variance? X

no i suppose you are right, it must be a really small difference. TBH I have a smallish head myself 🤣 so at first i thought nothing of it but I stupidly googled it which worried me. The sonographer said that everything looked good, but i am a worrier!
Hopefully all will be well with both of our little ones x

Honestly the difference between centiles could be literally millimetres at this stage so I wouldn’t worry! When I had my little boy they told me he was absolutely huge… he was 7lb 12 when he was born😂😂😂

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Rolling milestone at 5 months - What’s typical ?

Good morning ladies,

My daughter will be 5 months old tomorrow, but there’s still no sign of her rolling. She does tummy time and loves lying on her mat, playing with hanging toys above her and to the sides, but she only lifts her legs and doesn’t seem interested in rolling or moving sideways yet.

Anyone else the same or have your babies already learnt how to roll yet ?

Thank you
