Just been to the HV today who pointed out that she thought my 4.5 month old dd3's head was large and when measured it was on the 99th centile.
I am mortified to say I hadn't noticed it was large at all.
The upshot is they want to check out whether it could be fluid on the brain or encephalitus (sp?). I have thought dd3 to be similar to other 2 except she does vomit quite a bit, often has wet clothes in the day which I need to change and also she doesn't sleep in the day for more than about 30 minutes, about 3 sleeps like this, max, a day.
I'm terrified so trying to tell myself she has probably just got a big head but I keep breaking down thinking of it.
Anyone else experienced anything similar, good or bad outcome?

Large head, possible fluid on brain, anyone else had this and turned out to be nothing or any of these symptoms too and it was?
