I am first time mother and had a growth scan at 28 weeks. Baby’s measurement are attached. I am concerned about: 1. Baby’s Head being bigger than FL. Is this normal? For reference I am 5’4 and husband is 6’1 so not shorter at all 2. Is it a sign of Down syndrome? 3. What should I eat to increase baby’s FL?
