Q: Baby's Head Measuring to Small..

I am 29 wks but the baby's body is measuring 31. The concern is that the baby's head is measuring at 26 wks. Needless to say i'm a lil up set about it. The doc said not to worry yet. He is sending me next wk for a dopler(?). To see if he(the baby) as the right amount of blood flow to the head. I'm not sure what to think. If any one has any thing to say about this, I would love to hear it all. Plz e-mail if you would like at thank you for your time:faithann

Small Head

I would suggest that you try hard not to let this stress you out. I know it is hard to do. Sometimes I think too much information is available to us before our child is born. Besides knowing something that could be nothing, what are you going to do about it in the meantime? Nothing. Relax and try to enjoy your pregnancy, sometimes they have big heads and sometimes they have small heads. Hopefully everything will be fine.

Don't Worry

My son was born at 9 months and his head was smaller than usuall and he was fine. No type of problems at all. They begin to grow more rapid when they are ready. Don not get upset and just pray on it and everything will be okay! Good luck
