Babyrascal was born at 30+6 due to HELLP.
She was IUGR and weighed 2lb 1oz/0.983g
Her weight and height have always been an issue as both are under the 0.4th centile but head circumfrence has always been on the 0.4th and therefore less of a concern.
However at her most recent check up last week the consultant showed concern as her weight and height are still below 0.4th (she is 56cm long and weighed 10lb 15oz) but her head has dropped below the 0.4th centile at 39cm.
She has been referred to the paed dietician for assessment.
The Dr was very conservative about what small head growth means and so I have done my own reseach and scared myself to death
Anyone have experience of this?
