A. Yes, it is possible for a baby to have a normal pregnancy sonography and still be born with a cone-shaped head. This condition is usually not a cause for concern. ### What Causes a Cone-Shaped Head? - **Molding During Birth**: A cone-shaped head is often due to the natural process of molding during vaginal delivery. As the baby passes through the birth canal, the soft bones of the skull can temporarily shift and overlap to make the head fit through the narrow space. This can result in a cone-shaped head at birth. - **Vacuum-Assisted Delivery**: If a vacuum is used to assist with delivery, it can also cause the baby's head to appear more cone-shaped. ### Is It a Problem? - **Temporary Condition**: The cone shape typically resolves on its own within a few days to weeks as the baby's head returns to a more rounded shape. - **No Long-Term Issues**: In most cases, this temporary change in head shape does not cause any long-term problems. If you're concerned about your baby's head shape or if it doesn't seem to improve over time, you should discuss it with your pediatrician. They can assess your baby to ensure that everything is developing normally.
