Scan picture - does this look ok?

I realise that this may be a slightly neurotic concern but does my babies skull shape look ok to you?
The sonographer didn't seem concerned so I know because of that alone I shouldn't worry... but it's niggling me 😕 the skull seems really large and blocky in comparison to how my sons scan was? I've been googling and can't seem to see any similar pics with this shape head.

First pic is 12 weeks 4 days with current baby and just for comparison I've uploaded the scan of my son who's head seemed a lot more 'normal' whatever that is🤷🏼‍♀️

If the highly trained sonographer is happy, the views of internet randoms really don't matter.

A professional has told you your baby is fine. Congratulations!

As above, the sonographer would have said if anything hadn't looked right.
The scan images change constantly on the screen as the probe moves. I would imagine the shot has just been captured at a different point to your sons. Try not to worry Smile

I don’t see any problems especially if the sonographer didn’t mention anything! Babies have all different size and shape heads Smile

Id listen to the sonographer rather than opinions of unqualified people via the internet......

I would do with what the sonographer has told you.

My unqualified input is that the current pic looks like a different quality to your other one, maybe on a lower resolution or something so finer detail is missed.
