Hi there!
My little girl was born at 38+5, induced due to a slight tear in placenta, was a bit of a traumatic pregnancy! Had ltos of complications and lots of scans.
Her head circumference was always big and was even off the charts on percentile range at our last one!
When she was born it was 35cm and she was 6lb 12oz
Shes now 6 and a half weeks old and I've just measured it at around 40 cms! I've head by 1 month it should be 38cm so I'm not sure if this is normal or nto, when I put it in a percentile calculator it said it was 98th percentile! I have our 6 week check on Thursday so I'll get an accurate reading then. She's not been weighed since the 17th of Jan when she was just over a month old and she weighed 9lb 3 (never lost any weight or had failure to thrive but slight jaundice and still slightly)
Anyone know if this is normal or am I just Freaking for no reason!? First time mum here and due to see HV on the 5th
Thanks ☺️
