Pregnancy Scan Showing Fetus With Dwarfism. Is There Any Other Way To Confirm It?
I am 26 weeks pregnant my baby s femur and humerus is measuring 31/2 weeks behind and stomach measuring 2 weeks behind. All other measurements are fine. Dr. mention it can be dwarfism . I am extremely worried and scared. Is there any other indication of extremely worried and scared. This is my first child and for the start of my pregnancy ive gotten bad news. When something good happens it comes along with bad news.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The comparatively shorter length of femur and humerus can be associated with other congenital malformations or dwarfism. You need to have a level 2 scan to find pout any other malformations in the baby.
