Small head circumference

I'm wondering if anybody else baby has/had small head circumference during pregnancy.
I'm measuring small around 2 weeks behind. So had a growth scan.
Baby's heard is really low so struggled to get top of head measurement.
Anyway.. I had a private scan at 27 weeks measured 253mm was good size. 40th percentile
Nhs growth scan 28+4 head measured 250mm ( head can't shrink so thinking she got the wrong measurement, as baby is getting bigger its harder to get a good measurement??)
Anyway I had a re scan at private due to baby's cord in face and had measurements again at 30 weeks , 273mm! Lady who scanned said she wouldn't worry because she as struggling to get a good measurement. But this put us on 3.5% line! It's freaking me out!!!! I keep googling microphaely!! When I look st graphs online 273 is not far off average so why is it Such a low percentile! I have another scan next
Monday I think NHS. I feel so sad and miserable it's all I think about. I'm so quiet because I'm just full of worry!!!
Does anybody else had head circumference around 273mm around 30 weeks? Is this all because head is to low?
