Can you look at my ultrasound?... small chin?

[Ashley25]

Hi guys, my newest panic of the day... just went for a scan at 30 weeks and this was her profile. Is her chin abnormally small?? Of COURSE I googled and found 'Micrognathia'... am I crazy? Need your input ...

It looks normal to me! Very cute!

Hard to tell much from that pic. I'm sure all is fine if your Dr and sonographer weren't concerned!

 

[pinkpassion]

It looks normal to me too

Aww what an adorable profile! I think she looks absolutely fine! Besides, don't want her sporting a Jay Leno chin now... yikes.

not too far back? I read it the upper jaw is too far over it it could be a sign of something...

 

[MamaBunny2]

To me, I don't feel it is. Actually I believe I recall my dentist or orthodontist mentioning that my lower jaw is receded back a little in conjunction with my upper jaw. I do have an ever so sliiight overbite, nothing major or noticeable at all. I've never been diagnosed with anything nor has it ever been a problem or mentioned otherwise I wouldn't worry yourself over it much at all. Did you ever have a 3D scan? I'd think dimensional would show details like that better than a black and white 2D.

Here's my son's profile, and his chin isn't prominent

And here in 3D

I turned your photo and her little profile looks absolutely precious!

Absolutely perfectly normal.

The chin and lower jaw of my babies always looked rather petite when they were tiny. If you think about the mechanics of breastfeeding it makes sense that they have little chins and button noses.

Looks perfectly normal to me!

Looking beautiful xxx

 

[LittleLala]

I don't think it looks too small at all, it looks perfect xxxx

I think it looks normal too. Facial features will fill out as they grow and are "built" for breastfeeding when they come out like pp said.
I was worried my lo chin looked too pointy in ultrasounds, even the 3d one. Well she does have one, but it just looks that way cuz her head is so round. She's absolutely adorable and I wouldn't change a thing about her.
