Q: 25 1/2 Weeks Pregnant And Baby's Head Measuring Too Small?

Hi I am 25 1/2 weeks pregnanat and I went to the doctors on monday and the doctor measured the babys head and he said that the baby's head was measuring a little smaller than the body so he sent me over to see a specialist and the specialist said that the head is measuring 24 weeks and the body is measuring 25 1/2 weeks. The specialist said that the head is still in the normal range and it's really nothing to worry about ( they say that head might just be a narrow head) but this is my second pregnancy and I did not have this problem with my first....

Has anyone been thought this or know of anyone who has and what was their outcome???

I will get another ultrasound in 5 weeks so they could see if the baby's head is growing right...

If the specialist said that everything is fine..Than I would realx a little...

I'm sure they would've done extensive testing if something were extreemely wrong..Ya know? I don't know much about this but like the Dr. Said...Your babe could just have a narrow head!!

I would take into consideration everything your Dr. And the specialist have to say...But don't stress...That does nothing but make matters worse!!

Thank you sarah it's just that it's a little hard not to think about and I have 5 weeks until they do another ultrasound so see how everything is going I will feel much better after I get that other ultrasound!

I am not really stressing out about it, it just bothers me and I wanna know whats going on in there.........

Thanks for the reply,

I hear ya on that one girl!!! It's probably going to drive you up a wall!! Lol..Not to mention how slowly the 5 weeks will take!! What I meant by don't stress is divert your attention to something else...Just play with your oldest baby and remember how nervous you were with her and everything turned out fine!!

Good luck honey...I wish you and your young one the best!!

Hey! Well I am 28 weeks now but when I went in for my appointment on feb.03 my doc told me that my fundal height was too small so he needed to check if my baby was ok. So I had an ultrasound when I was 25weeks 4 days and the lady said that my baby measured 24weeks 3 days. She didn't tell me anything else though and I am waiting for my next Dr.'s appointment to see what he says. It's until the 13th of february though...

Just try to stay positive, believe me, I know it's hard not to think about it but just have faith.
