Hydrocephalus? Can anyone look at scans xx

Can anyone see any fluid on my babies brain? I went for a private 4D ultrasound and they did a growth scan too, they said my baby had a slightly bigger head than average (98th percentile!!!!) and I've been googling..... she didn't mention any abnormalities.

She told me to mention to my midwife, but my midwife is on holiday and isn't returning for 2 weeks and maternity triage says it's a community midwife thing.

My husband has a large head so I'm hoping it's genetics only

DD’s head was 98th centile and she’s totally fine. She was MASSIVE when born though (62cm and 10lb 13oz!) and I needed a section. She’s 5 now and 50th centile for weight, 75th for height.

Oh and her head is proportionate!

Zero concerns before so relax
Big head does not immediately = hydrocephalus
