This is my first viable pregnancy (I unfortunately miscarried my first at 6 weeks, 4 years a go) and we had our first ultrasound on Friday.
Baby is a little wriggler but was well behaved enough to let the sonographer get some good photos :)
My concern is it's head shape. It looked almost like a cone on the screen and I'm still concerned about it now, every time I look at my scan pictures (which is a lot). I did raise my concern but she didn't really say anything when I brought it up.
Baby is measuring right on target though and was 11 weeks 5 days here.
It's probably me being very very anxious. But what are everyone's thoughts? Does it look normal?

That looks completely normal to me. Baby is curled up with its chin on its chest as normal. Congratulations!

Why not ask the sonographer, not random internet strangers.

Looks perfectly normal. Any concern from a sonographer regarding the head shape and they would have referred you to foetal medicine.
