I've just had a scan at 33 weeks to check issues about the placenta.
Which means I got some measurements for the baby and how it is growing etc. All the measurements (leg length, abdominal size etc) were all well into the 60th percentile or higher, but the Occipitofrontal diameter was in the 21st percentile, which struck me as very odd considering the rest of the baby's size. My DH in particular is now in a state about what this means, and getting worried that it is something to do with the brain development (I think the measurement is about the baby's head from front to back?)
I didn't see the results until I brought my notes home and so didn't have the chance to ask the MW. I could call her but I feel totally neurotic PFB for doing so.
Does anyone have any experience of what this means?
I am beating myself up here for not having taken fish oils throughout pregnancy now, and worried that I have done something to mean that the baby's brain isn't developing at the same rate as the rest of her :(
Please forgive me for being neurotic!!!
