welcome to Health care magic.
1.Yes it needs concern, as its seen in the asymmetric IUGR - intra uterine growth restriction.
2.So as they said - i do suggest a followup in this case.
3.I would even ask for a fetal doppler.
4.If you do needful precautions every thing should be fine . take care.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
