I Am Looking For Advice On Bpd And Hc Size

I am looking for advice on bpd and hc size on my baby. I am 30 weeks the measurements are as follows:

30 weeks 3 days
BPD: 7.04 cm
HC: 26.56 CM

AC: 26.67 cm
Femur: 5.81 cm

The BPD is at the 3rd percentile and has me very worried. At 20 weeks the bpd was in the 76% and hc was in the 9%. No abnormalities were seen at that time. Now they have it marked small for gestational age.

Please advise on the head size and what ahould be done if anything and if this means the baby may have microchephly. Thank you
