Baby Transverse Cerebral Diameter is small

Hi I just had my Oscars 2nd trimester scan. Found out my baby’s brain is smaller than 10th percentile. It’s 17mm avg 20mm. Will be doing an amniocentesis next Wednesday. Did anyone experience this? As our NIPT was all normal & 1st trimester was all good.

I know how scary it feels to get unexpected news at a scan, especially when everything looked fine before. Since the measurement came back below the 10th percentile, it is really important to just follow through with the amniocentesis as planned and have a detailed conversation with your gynae or fetal medicine specialist about what the finding means specifically for your baby. Sometimes one measurement alone does not tell the full picture, and the specialist will be the best person to interpret everything together with your NIPT results and scan history. Hang in there, and keep us posted on how Wednesday goes.
