Anatomy scan... head is showing small 😔
It’s been a tough 24hrs... we had our 20 week scan yesterday and were told that the head is small, just below their tolerance lines, so we have to be referred to a London hospital.
They didn’t seem massively worried but as this is our first baby after 7 years of trying, failed IVF and a miscarriage (exactly 1yr ago this week 😢) it’s just all got a bit much and I can’t stop crying!
Annoyingly we were supposed to get our appt yesterday afternoon or today and nothing... I keep chasing but been told I’m on their “to do list”.
Any words of wisdom or encouragement would be really appreciated.

Hi Nina, I’m due on Monday... so currently very large and waiting patiently! We had our follow up appt at the fetal medicine unit a week later and fortunately the head had grown and was in the 9th percentile... when we had a further scan at 28 weeks it has moved to the 30th! It was a stressful part of the pregnancy but really hopeful that it’s all going to work out. Anyway, hope that helps and you’re ok.
I’m so sorry I know exactly how your feeling We were also told our baby’s head is small and on the lowest line on there charts, but we have been going for regular scans every few weeks to just check he stays on that lowest line and doesn’t fall off. We got offered that test were they stick a needle in your belly (forgot the name for it) but I refused as there’s a small risk of loosing baby. It’s so worrying for each scan, but all I can say is try stay positive and try not to stress as you’ll only make yourself ill (easier said than done I know) I think they also offered me an MRI scan but I don’t know what I want at the moment. I wish you all the best! And fingers crossed you get a good outcome xx

Hi Jodie, sorry I didn’t respond! Our appt on Monday went great, the consultant was amazing and said the head was fine - it had actually grown in a week and was now in the 7th percentile. So I’m finally able to breathe a little... although I’m sure I won’t feel full at ease until baby is here! Have you had another scan yet? X
