What does a small head circumference mean at 30 week scan?

During a pregnancy the head circumference, abdominal circumference, Fumur and Amniotic Fluid index are monitored and measured at scans to check they are growing within the normal range e.g 10th, 50th and 90th centiles. Anything outside of the 10th and 90th range is considered not to be 'normal' and could be a sign of a problem. If the head circumference is measured and found out of this range e.g below the normal range then it could be a sign of FAS, Microcephaly or another type of mental disorder. However, any measurements within this range is considered to be normal. The question is difficult to answer because it depends on what "small" actually means, like I say, if it is below the 10th centile range then it is too small and there COULD be a problem but if it has been measured to be within the normal range then the baby could just have a petite head with no mental issues.

Is it normal that the head of the baby is 2 cm bigger than his chest?

Yes, it is normal for a baby's head to be slightly larger than their chest circumference. This difference is a typical characteristic of infant growth, as the head develops to accommodate the growing brain. A head that is about 2 cm larger than the chest is generally within the range of normal variation for newborns. However, if there are concerns about growth or development, it's always best to consult a pediatrician.
