Small HC at 28 weeks?

Question

I just had my 28w ultrasound and for HC it was only 253.4mm (~25cm) and says it corresponds to almost a week behind (like 4-5 days behind). Everything else (like AC and femur length) were measuring on time if not a little ahead. 
Anyone have anything similar or a similar HC at that gestational age and baby was ok? Google scares me with talks of microcephaly etc :(((

Answer

I am going through this now! My worries have subsided although nothing has really changed. Any updates for a first time mommy?

Answer

That’s a normal variance. Don’t worry!

Answer

Yeah don't check google, go back in to your doctor and ask if its normal. My sister in laws baby was measuring small according to the norms.. But he is fine.. They said like very small hands and legs.. But he is fine.. And really they do it according to your due date and they grow after 14 weeks in different pace, maybe the head hasn't been growing as fast as the other parts YET. If I was worried I would ask a health professional to get a clear answer..
