Measuring small?

Question

I had my anatomy scan today! It is a girl! They want to see me back in a month because they said her head is measuring small. I am due June 2nd but her head says June 11th. I am slightly worried but at the same time not because the dr at the ultrasound said it looks like it’s most likely nothing but she just wants to make sure.

Answer

My first daughter measured small at her anatomy scan and they wanted me to do another one a month or so later and she was still measuring small, everything was measuring small though not just her head. I ended up being induced at 36 weeks and she was measuring 33 weeks my Dr. said it would be better for her to come out early and get nutrients from breast milk rather than stay in there and not grow. So she was born a few weeks early at 5 lbs 17 inches long but she was strong and healthy and didn’t have to go to the NICU or anything (which was a relief). She’s just my tiny girl, even now she’s 2 years old and she’s in the 2 & 3rd percentile for her height and weight but her dr isn’t worried at all because she’s right on point or advanced in all of the developmental milestones.

Answer

This happened to us with my daughter. I was really worried but at the next ultrasound she was perfectly fine and caught up. She’s now a healthy 5 year old.
