HC and CRL measurements in 97th percentile?!

Hi, can anyone reassure me or tell me what this even means?

Just got back from a dating scan and actually 15 weeks pregnant. The HC and CRL measurwments were both in the 97th percentile. Is this a bad thing? The sonographer didn't mention anything to me, I just saw it in my notes after the scan. If anyone can shed some light on whether I have anything to worry about I'd really appreciate it.

It means that the head circumference (hc) and crown to rump (length) are on the 97th centile which just means s/he growing week.
Don't be worried it means your doing a great job of growing him/her :)

So sorry meant to say he/ she is growing well not week. I can't seem to type tonight!

To a problem at all. There is someone normal on every centile, just means currently you are growing a lovely bouncing baby. There. There may be cause for concern if one measurement was on a vastly different centile to the others eg hc was 110th and everything else on 25th, but your baby's measurements sound perfect. Fwiw my baby was measuring above 90th for everything at 20wks, head circumference was above 100th (off the scale)! He was born a very healthy 9lbs 8oz Smile

Thank you so much both of you, you've really put my mind at rest :-)
