Haven’t spoken to doctor yet but has anyone had this in their measurements? This was at 28 week ultrasound and I’m nervous now…

    Ultrasounds aren’t exact and can measure wrong. Before you get anymore anxious about it, I would call your doctor for some reassurance.

    I think mine was behind, and then he was ahead at my next growth u/s. No news from doc is good news :)

    They’re just measurements. Unless they say your baby is growth restricted, I wouldn’t worry about it. Just like adults - babies come in all shapes and sizes. I think mine is measuring at 14th percentile for head circumference and that was at 36 weeks. They’ve never said it was too small or behind where it should be 🤷‍♀️
