Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have gone through your query and health concerns in detail ,. Pregnant women with gestational age (GA) of 11-13 weeks and 6 days and/or ... the head aligned with the spine in a way that fetus occupied at least 75% of the image so it appears to be hyperflexion. Nothing to worry at this time , do a repeat Ultrasound done after 4 weeks and see the changes .
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.

Brief Answer:
Repeat scan will help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The hyperflexion of spine of baby can be related to posture that may be transitory or can be related to a bone deformity. A repeat scan can confirm if the curve is persistent or not. IN case there is a spinal deformity then it is difficult to treat during pregnancy.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
