I was told baby had slight dolichocephaly, meaning it had a slightly elongated head (from top to bottom) - at the 18 week scan.
At the 32 week scan, nothing was mentioned, but I was told I was having a small baby. They hinted at weight and stature being small.
She was 8lb 5oz (3770g) and 52cm long - so not a small baby.
Hmmm, my SIL was always being freaked out about how big her baby would be, even at 20 weeks she was told he was 'above average'. At 34 weeks they told her they were worried that bub was too big to come out naturally (TOTALLY freaked her out). Anyhoo, bub ended up being born 4 weeks early and only weighed 2.6 kg. He was really long though!
With my DS I was also always told bub was 'above' average. I had him at 38 weeks and he was already 3.5 kg, so yes he was big.
