I dont think thats a sign, there has to be more than just that. I dont think you should worry, babies look much different on an ultrasound than in person. Like most babies noses look huge on an ultrasound but are small in person.

Dont worry unless they ran a test on her bones or spine. I believe thats a way of being able to tell, late bone development.

My daughter was born with really short legs and by time she hit a year old they finally grew to match the rest of her. I thought she was gonna be really short but she is actually tall for her age.

I wouldn't stress unless v you get c done sound evidence. My baby was born 8lbs.6 oz and on my  last ultrasound at 39 weeks my doctor said he was between 7.8 and 8.8 lbs lol and had a pretty big head but that his thigh bones where only in the 10% percentile! It's the way he's built im 4 ft 10in. And my husband is only 5ft8 but has a long torso and shorter legs lol is inseam is only 1 more in than mine haha.
