Hi Has anyone ever been told that their baby will have a long thin skull. We were told this at the 20 week scan and are a little unsure of what to expect. Although it was still classed as normal it was only one mark off being an abnormality.

Sorry i have never heard of this hopefully someone else will be able to help.

I've never heard of it either. Did they not give you any more info on it? It could just have been an observation.. like, long legs... or big baby..

We did think that but it seemed quite an unusual thing to be told. We have never been given that kind of information with the others.

I personally haven't been told this, however my aunt has when she was pregnant with my cousin Holly (now 10).
Basically when Holly was born she had exactly what they said a long thin skull, mening her head width ways (like from ear to ear) was really thin but it was really long from forehead to back of head. I dont know why, ive never asked and was never told as I was only 9 or so then. I know that she got n operation when she was abotu 6 months or so though to fix her skull and make it a more normal shape as when her head was growing it was growing longer rather than bigger...wasnt a life threatening op or anthing and from what I can remember she was out of hospital quickly.
This could be what they meant...or it could be something completley different such as that your baby will be big.

Anyways, whatever it is im sure its nothing to worry over, if it was they'd have given you more information on it i think

Good luck!!

hiya i have been trying to research it for you and cant find nothing on it and ive never heard of it neither the only thing i can find is the head condition to go with brittle bones in general but doesnt just effect the head effects the whole body
its a shame the diagnose theses things and then cant be arsed to sit down and tell u about them after stupid ppl hope every thing goes ok

Sorry I haven't heard of this either but I hope you get some answers soon

Me neither but you should ask your midwife to give you some more info so you know what the implications are, if any.
