Ladies
I am so stressed out
My son is 9 months old, I was induced 10 days earlier as there were concerns with his head size and legs size when he was born it was all okay, then at his 6 weeks check they were concerned his head was too small... on the 0.4 centile growing but still on that line. He eventually was seen at the hospital they did blood tests to check for genetics and that came back all okay, they reviewed him again at the hospital his head had grown but still on the 0.4 centile they were happy so discharged him in Feb, they wanted his head to be measured every month at our local baby clinic but we then locked down. My son crawls, stands, babbles, eats and engages. Today I had finally received a health visitor appointment so I attended they weighed him as over the 25th centile and head on 0.4 centile and are saying his heads too small again and referring us back to the hospital. I just feel like my son has been proded and poked and there must be something people are missing if this keeps happening. Please help me xxx

My daughter's head is also on the 0.4th centile and I am worried sick but the HV and GP are. Not concerned at all. They say as long she's growing along her line it's fine.
Weird how different the approach is. I'd love to he seen by paeds... But in the end, they won't make my daughter's head bigger...
I guess and hope that as long as they meet their milestones the outcome will be fine
