Patient's question:
1.23 weeks + 6 days baby's actual size is equivalent to 22 weeks + 5 days2. A U-shaped depression is visible on the baby's neck skin
3. An anechoic dark area with a size of approximately 5.452.61 CM is observed under the placental chorionic plate, with indeterminate nature, but high possibility of being a blood sinus
What do these mean? What should I do if the baby is smaller than the gestational age? What is the cause of the neck depression? What is happening with the placenta? I'm very anxious, please help me take a look, thank you
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the actual size of the fetus is smaller than the gestational age, which may be related to your nutrition. It is recommended that you strengthen your nutrition. For the baby's growth and development, you need to eat more. Also, in the later stages of pregnancy, the baby's growth and development are faster. If your weight is relatively light in the early stages, strengthening nutrition in the later stages can still catch up.
