Detailed scan at 20wks

Just went for detailed scan 2 days back and doctors discovered that baby had a small cerebellum that is slightly below the 5th centile! Everything is growing well but this isolated anomaly and doctors could not identify the reasons and advice to go for further checks like amniocentesis which we are totally not keen. Would like to ask if any parents have this and baby turned out healthy and well? Discussed with the husband and we believe in our baby girl that she will catch up eventually but cant help thinking about it sometimes! Need some assurances plse

These scans might be inaccurate sometimes so try not to stress yourself out mummy! Sending over positive vibes... But if you want peace of mind why not do the amniocentesis like your doctor suggested? May I know why you're not keen? My baby didn't have the same issue but was very small overall (below 5th centile), was born only 2kg but is now thriving and amazing.

Go for another detailed scan. Dr Ananda from Camden medical is an expert for infant anomalies. He charged me around $600 in 2016 for my detailed scan at 22 weeks.
