20 week scan Measurements

5 replies

I've just had my 20 week scan and rather than be elated, I'm a wreck. The measurements seem all over the place - a head circumference too small and an abdominal circumference too big. The sonographer said nothing.

I can't stop stressing 😞

Do you mean the measurements were big and small on the centiles?Xx

Kindly - if the sonographer said nothing what makes you think the measurements are too big or too small?

Do you mean like for example the head circumference was measuring at 19w5d, whilst abdo was at 20w4d, or something? If so that's totally normal. If it was an NHS scan they would have told you if they had concerns, so you can assume it was within the range of normal.

They would have told you if there was any problems. If they didn’t mention anything I really wouldn’t be worrying about it

@Rose1999 Hi I had a similar experience today at my 20 week scan. How did it turn out for you?
