Small Head and face

Hi im a 38 year old female. Ive grown up really skinny but healthy. I weighed 3 to 4 stone from aged about 10 and then from 14 to 19 i weighed 5 and a half to 6 stones. I was light but very fit and well, i ate but didnt gain weight, it never bothered me really although i always knew i had a really skinny small face.

Fast forward to now, ive had 4 lovely kids, all born under 7 lbs but healthy, but now my hips are wider, my arms are fatter and my shoulders are wider. But my head and face havent grown. I literally have a small head. When my body was childlike, and teenage, and up until my 30s i was lucky enough to remain slim and slender, so my skinny face was manageable. But now my body is wider i geel realky down. In photos i look ridiculously out of proportion. Ive always had the small face in group photos. But now my body does not fit my face. Im sorry that my issue may seem trivial in comparison to some people and their concerns. But please if you saw my photo you would understand. Its not a little vit smaller....toddlers have bigger faces than me.
