Just had my 20 week scan and the sonographer said everything looked good and baby was healthy and happy. I have just taken a look at the fetal assessment report in my folder and beside each body sort it says 'appears normal' however, beside face it says 'NWS' what does this mean??

I was a bit worried as 2 of my baby's measurements are below 50%

OFD -occipital frontal diameter, the measurement from the back to the front of the head is 40% and

FL is 44% of normal mean. Then I googled and realised that other scans at around week 20 are very similar :) x
