I had a 36 week scan today and my baby's head is measuring really big (35cm, >97th centile). Everything else was within the normal range, although the baby is on the heavy side (almost 7lb!!)
The sonographer didn't seem concerned, but when I got home I started googling and have worked myself up into a right state. I'm panicking that he/she will be really out of proportion or much worse, that something is terribly wrong - like fluid on the brain or an issue with the skull.
I have a bigger than average head myself but my mum doesn't recall any issues with my head size at birth, although it was a long time ago now.
I read that a baby's growth slows down from 37 weeks onwards (1oz a week, down from 0.5lbs per week) so is there a chance that the head could stop growing now?
Lastly, if you were me, given the head size would you insist on a caesarian?
