Hi guys,first time posting on here. Im currently 36 weeks pregnant,today I went for a scan and I was told my baby’s head is slightly smaller. Should I be worried,has anyone been told this before? Got 2 scans next week to check again but I can’t stop worrying something bad is gonna happen to my baby. This was a twin pregnancy n one baby died at 14 weeks. The docs said it’s just very slightly but they still need to keep checking on his growth.

Thank u

Best thing is that you are being monitored and far enough along if they were that concerned they could get the baby out without any huge adverse effects development wise. It can be such an anxious time when something isn’t quite right but they are aware and keeping an eye on you so you are in good hands. Good luck with the rest of the pregnancy xx
