Anatomy scan concerns??

Question

We just had our anatomy scan yesterday at 19 weeks and our son looks great we're told. Everything is measuring right on schedule except for his head. The circumference is measuring a week ahead and the bpd(biparietal diameter) is measuring a week behind. The ultrasound tech didn't seem concerned and she said everything looks good so far. Am I just being an over paranoid ftm? Anyone had similar experiences?

Answer

I think its normal. I'm 39 weeks at my babys head is measuring 2 weeks ahead. My doctor wasnt concerned at all and just joked that hes gonna have a big head.

Answer

The week before my niece was born they said her head was measuring a little small. It was a normal 13in when she was born. Sometimes they can be inaccurate 😊

Answer

My sons head was a week ahead and his limbs measured 2 weeks behind. He was perfectly fine. He does have short legs though lol

Answer

Our daughter's head was 2 weeks ahead at the anatomy scan, by the end of my pregnancy it was 4 weeks ahead. Completely normal, she was born with a normal sized head. It's really hard to account for slight variations in shape on ultrasounds - they use universal measurements.

Answer

My sons is measuring that way too! My doctor said he could just have a more narrow head but she said she’s not concerned about brain growth or anything because the circumference is normal.
