Is it me

MelissaShimkus

Is it me or does my baby's head look big? I had a ultrasound today to double check my fluid, while i was waiting for my 3 hour test I had a 3D ultrasound but the tech couldn't get any good pics bc I had low fluid, so I had another normal ultrasound to check fluid level, the level came back at 9 which was normal so I must of been bc I had to fast and not drinking fluids.

It's you.

Let me just pull out my handy-dandy perfect pregnancy guidebook to compare your individual and unique pregnancy. You wont find anyone here willing to issue medical advice. Please dont ask, none of us are OBs or u/s techs.

I think it may be an alien.

I'm sure everything is fine. Sometimes the angle looks weird. I have one ultrasound pic where his head looks huge, too. I'm not worried.

Nah I'm sure it is fine. My little one looked like his nose was HUGE. We got a little nervous so she showed us in 3d and it was fine. I'm sure it is just a shadow or the angle.

typeset

Yes.

Some babies have big ole noggins.  It is where mine stores his super brain.  Its massive.

It's probably just the angle I wouldn't worry unless the Dr says something. My baby's head and body have measured in the 90% at my scans too. Good luck!

Wow and I would've thought we all were mature adults but I was wrong, thank u to the ones who actually replied with some sense. And @hfooter and babybarlow2014 y'all should really consider being a stand up comedians bc y'all are soooooo hilarious. And @soupy84 I wasn't looking or asking for a diagnosis.

You're not exactly new here anymore so I'm not sure why any of this comes as a shock to you.

What were you actually asking in your OP? It was kind of all over the place. Did you seriously just want people to say "yeah, your kid's head looks huge"? What's the point in that, exactly? The perspective in these images changes so quickly with every flick of the wand that it's hard to tell the exact size and shape of anything clearly in a u/s photo. If they didn't tell you there was anything to worry about, what are you worried about?

That right there in the bold... you can see and read that right? That question there is asking for a diagnosis, from a group of internet strangers who have no medical training.

Yes....it's you.

I mean I have a couple ultrasounds where my daughter's nose and mouth look messed up, but I'm more than sure my OB would have said something if there was an issue.

My LO looks like she has a snout in the picture we got today. The tech just happened to freeze the image at the same time that the wand moved slightly, I think. They didn't mention anything in the u/s report about piglets so hopefully it's all good.

I'm sorry to hear about your butt, OP. Hope it feels better soon!

This again? Come on, it's not 1st tri anymore. You know how we roll here.

I think it looks big. But I also think my kid's head looks huge. And, in general, think most babies' heads look huge.

I wouldn't worry. Docs would tell you whether you should be concerned.

I should post the picture from my A/S where the tech left the "heart mode" on and my baby looks like he has a demon face. It's so freaky/hilarious.

I also have one where he looks like he's smoking a cigarette. Do you think he will have asthma because of that??!!1?

My U/S from yesterday looks like my LO is blowing bubbles. Do you think that's where my horrible gas is coming from ? 

 Lol see how silly that sounds !!

@Storrmys Did the tech tell you what the bubbles were? When the tech was showing us our daughter this morning, we saw bubbles at one point too and she said it was how the umbilical cord appears at that particular angle/setting. Made me think of you.

No but I knew what it was already.  I just like imagining that he's in there just blowing bubbles and giggling when I have gas !

Babies have giant heads. I'd be more worried about one that actually looked proportionate to its body. Only your OB and US tech can tell you if the specific measurements are a concern.
