You are an educated patient who is concerned about this finding. And you seem to have got all your investigations so far. I suggest you consult your Obstetrician who is giving you antenatal check ups and advice so far. It is not something to be taken lightly.

If other anomalies have been ruled out in TIFA scan then this baby is going to be constitutionally small.
