I just wanted to share a positive story as me and my family went through a tough time during pregnancy and I was constantly googling looking for someone who had experienced the same. At 28 weeks the sonographer apologised to me and said something was wrong as my baby (who was measuring perfectly normal previously) head was measuring under the 3rd percentile. I’ll explain in detail but my baby girl just has a small head, which looks in proportion to her body (although her body percentile did come down e.g belly went from 60th to the 10th). She is perfectly normal at 4 months old and reaching milestones and I try not to worry about about anything that could arise in the future as it would rather spend my time enjoying her exactly how she is than worrying which is what the last 3 months of my pregnancy were. When her head measured this small I was told I had to have blood tests and that she could have had an infection. It was the scariest thing ever. The sonographer struggled to break the news. I was told I had to be monitored 3x a week for the heart rate, urine and blood pressure, Doppler scan to measure babies blood flow and my flow to the baby and growth scans. This is actually routine for fetal growth restriction but it wasn’t her small size I was worried about it was the head size concern specifically. On googling a babies head under the 3rd percentile would be diagnosed as microcephaly - potential to have issues concerning the brain eyes speech hearing etc. but it could also just mean the baby has a small head. I was told if the head remains under 3% I would have an mri scan to see if the baby had brain damage. However the consultant said he didn’t think I needed an mri scan and as the weeks went by her head eventually went above 3% but only just. Her head grew in width so she was then diagnosed with brachacephaly which is basically flat head shape but also has links to disabilities. Consultant explained it’s typical for babies with Down syndrome. We were offered the amniocentesis test at week 30 and the word termination was used which I couldn’t deal with I decided not to have the test (due to risks). The monitoring was exhausting we had heart rate fluctuations where they would keep me on the machine for hours on end. And my placenta was also then showing as insufficient and signs of redistribution. I agreed to have her induced at 37 weeks and consider myself extremely lucky. I sympathise with anyone going through something similar and I really hope it doesn’t trigger or offend anyone. I was ready to love my baby no matter what. I know they are hot on these percentiles/risks and inducing people because of fetal growth restriction so I just hope to provide some relief .
