Are Large Abdominal And Head Circumference Indicative Of An Abnormality In A Fetus?
I am 30 weeks today! I had an ultrasound Wednesday and was told that my baby s long bones were all measuring 16 weeks gestation! But his head and stomach are measuring bigger! The level of amniotic fluid is high but other than that everything is fine! They said because his measurements he probably wont be able to breath on his own! What kinda chance do you think he has and isn t there something they could do to help him?

Hi,
Yes. They can inject steroids for better respiratory function of the baby. The chances would be clear after birth.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
