More info: If the brain structure is normal, don't do anything. Wait until the child is born. Dolichocephaly is a head shape description, and nothing more. It does not necessarily indicate a medical problem needing treatment.

So on my ultrasound my babies head is measuring 21 weeks and I'm 23 weeks 2 days. Should I be worried? My doctor didn't seem worried at all. I am!

I had my 16 weeks ultrasound yesterday. Today I noticed the ultrasound looked like the baby was blowing a huge bubble attached to its mouth (probably as big as the babies head). The only ultrasound I found that looked like it showed a teratoma?

Paid for a private 3d scan at 14w4d and in one of the pictures my son looks like he has no chin. Ultrasound tech said dont worry babies are still developing alot at this stage. Can this be a true physical defect or perhaps just the angle? Nervous?
