Worried, is my baby's skull normal? Looks like it is not formed all the way. I am 8 wks + 3 days, measured 8 wks, 5 days. Heart beat was good at 178

Question

Answer

Unless you doctor says something nothing is wrong...try not to worry about every little thing.

Answer

Your baby doesn't even really have a skull yet. Try not to worry too much. Ultrasounds aren't exactly like looking at a picture; they're distorted.

Answer

Super cute!  Don't worry about the head . Ultrasound make babies look different. It's not a camera it goes off sound waves so any movement of anything will make it look different. Not to mention there's lots of gaps in the skull even up until after birth ( soft spots)

Answer

This was mine looks normal to me

Answer

This was mine at 8 weeks, the skull isn't fully formed that early

Answer

Imagine looking down at the baby, but it's not laying flat on its back...instead it's curved so the head is distorted.
