What Is The Right Head Size For 33 Week Old Fetus?
I had an ultrasound done yesterday and I was told that my baby is 4lbs 0oz which is underweight for 33 weeks and her head isnt growing but the brain is normal and I am not understanding that. What determines the right head side for a 33 week old fetus

Hi.
There are various parameters that are measured, and during the ultrasound even the head circumference is measured which is an indicator to mark the health of the growing fetus. Make sure you report to your doctor for an early follow up to check on the growth and head circumference, and if required your doctor will prescribe medications to help cope with the growth retardation.
Best wishes.
