Question
I am 38 weeks pregnant, and the baby’s head circumference is slightly smaller, while the femur length is normal. I am worried whether the baby might have an intellectual disability.
Answer
A slightly smaller head circumference in a fetus does not necessarily indicate an intellectual disability, as each baby’s growth and development is different. It is recommended to maintain a relaxed mood, increase nutritional intake, and continue to observe the baby’s developmental status. If you are concerned, you can consult professional medical advice.
