Ive had an ultrasound scan today and femoral length, abdominal circumference and estimated fetal weight are all normal but baby is measuring that head is 311cm (93 centile). Should I be worried?
I'm panicking having read Google!

Hi my LO has a big head. I was encouraged to have a c section as was told I'd struggle to give birth. She's beautiful and does have a big head. It runs in the family 😄

Hey OP. I had a c section this morning as my baby girls head and belly was measuring big - over 90th percentile. She’s absolutely perfect so please don’t worry. Infact she’s been measuring big for the last 10 weeks. She weighs 9lb!
