It upsets me to even type small head into the computer. What does this mean? I had a scan yesterday to check growth and the head was found to be in the bottom 3 percentile. Apparently, they are not worried as long as it sits between 10 and 90 but anything over or under causes alarm bells. The fermur was also small. I think this has been consistently small (DH is 6'2 and Im 5'7 and we both think we have big heads).
I think the head measurment was small last time but they didnt mention it directly. I feel so disempowered. The artery flow isnt great and the right side has got worse. She also measured for the first time, the cerebral flow - it was off the chart (out of the parameters) as was the placenta flow? reading.
I had a small vision disturbance yesterday in a meeting after school. It was tiny but it happened - I was sitting down and the girls face kind of warbled. I cant describe it better than that. I see the midwife on Wednesday so I will wait till. then.
They booked me another scan in 3 weeks and told me to make an appointment to see my concultant within 2 weeks, so Im booked for Monday. (Apparently, no one else can see me because Im on his list even though he is going on holiday. What if I need to see him again?)
I hate going for the scans. Everytime the news seems to get worse and worse.
I looked up small head and it can be related to a syndrome - very small babies with half a head with compromised intelligence. Or just with compromised intelligence or restricted growth. Im very worried and have to wait for 6 days to even discuss it further. I cant stop crying. I dont even feel pregnant now...
Symptoms - some movement
