is baby's skull normal? protruding forehead?

Question

is the ultrasound picture just not at the best angle or is baby's forehead protruding some in comparison to her head? is this normal? the ultrasound tech didn't mention anything was amiss but it was also done at a third party ultrasound clinic so she may not have been able to comment. this is my second pregnancy but my first that has stuck so I'm a little neurotic and easily worried. this was taken at 15w on the dot

Answer

Try not to put too much focus on thinking something is wrong. It will add unnecessary stress.  I am sure you’re baby is just fine, the tech would have told you or notified doctor. When I saw those ultrasounds I just knew something was wrong with my sons ears. They looked all smooshed and distorted. When he was born, the first thing my husband said was “his ears are perfect!” Lol!!! You have to remember you’re looking at something that’s not done cooking😊

Maybe baby’s arm is resting on forehead ?

Answer

It's just the angle baby has its head tilted looking at you.

Answer

I see what your saying about the babies head. it does look large but it is probably the angle both my pregnancies my little boys heads looked huge but everything was just fine with my first and now I'm 32 weeks with my second and his head appears to be a normal size don't stress it
