I wouldn't worry about the head size either. I have not had head size measured until 20 weeks. At this point baby is so small it would be hard to get a super good measurement anyway. All my kids have had heads that measured big. The size of the head doesn't matter as long as the head doesn't seem to growing at a rate that is different than the rest of the body.
I think my problem is I started assuming (Uh dumb!) that the head was big and the body was small meaning various different potential problems. Why I do these things to myself is beyond me. Lol. I think I've let it go though- no sense in worrying about made up things when I have another 4 weeks before I can find out anything anyway.
I think as Moms we always find something to obsess about having do to with the baby's health. For me this PG is it that I have an anterior placenta and cant feel the baby move so I keep thinking something is wrong. I am 20 weeks PG and still cant feel the baby. Doesn't matter that it is "normal" not to feel the baby with an anterior placenta, I still think something is wrong.
Wanting pink- you're absolutely right. Will you be able to feel baby at some point? As she gets bigger perhaps?
My first had an anterior placenta, it was really hard to feel him until around 25 weeks or so & I think (long time ago, first baby) after he was big enough, I had no trouble feeling him, just maybe a bit....muted, for lack of a better word.
Yes from what I understand I will be able to at some point. It is just so weird not to feel the baby move!! Had my 20 week ultrasound yesterday and everything was fine so I had a moment of knowing everything was okay. It is hard when you start feeling better AND the baby isn't moving. I haven't had this happen before. Once a week I look for a heartbeat with a doppler so that makes me feel better. I can hear her move on the doppler too.
