Answer
Hello Leigh- I have NO FAITH in such predictions by ultrasound- I have seen too many parents suffer from such info only to find out at birth that everything was just fine. Your baby has lots of time to grow yet. Please ignore this info and refuse any further u/s scans unless you are bleeding vaginally. You need to concentrate on eating VERY well and be HAPPY. All the best- Cheri.
