More information: More information is needed before you should be worried. If you and your husband or boyfriend are of short stature, then 7% percentile can be normal. I would discuss this finding with your doctor as he/she will understand/know if you have risk factors for intrauterine growth restriction. Likely you doctor will want to do additional ultrasounds. More information/background will help understand.
