42 cm head circumference?!? 😲😩😧

Question

I went to the L&D for a stress test. They decided to do a sonogram. They are telling me the head circumference is measuring 42 cm. That's 16 inches and change! 
And I only have how many cm to work with?? I'm giving birth to megamind, y'all, pray for me 😫

Answer

😂😂😂 megamind.. I hope everything goes well 😊

Answer

God I'm scared now hahaha
My hubby and his sister were both born with big heads!! He actually didn't really grow into his head until he was like 14! Lmao so I always tell him I'm not pushing out his kid if she has a giant head like him! Hahaha
I'm 4'10 too, so that's just added fun since my hips aren't very big at all. Did they find out the head size at a growth scan? I was supposed to have mine today but the ultrasound tech cancelled and it's not switched to thursday. I can't wait!

Answer

You should be fine 😊 during birth their heads are very malleable..thats why sometimes after they're born they look like little cone heads 😀

Answer

You also have to remember ultrasounds are sometimes off a little. 1st born was born with 37.5 cm head circumstance. My second was a little smaller. You will do just fine, I had got cut with her but didn't tear. :)

Answer

Omg!! On the bright side, 42 cm circumference is about 13 cm diameter, and your cervix will be 10 cm diameter, so it's "only" 3 cm more? Trying to think positive here. Even 10 cm diameter sounds crazy to me!!

Answer

God bless you! My sister has 2 little boys both with big heads (14.5im) and she couldn't deliver natural. I wish you all the best!
