So just remember, percentiles are just averages. And at this age babies are pretty much all developing at the same rate (with a few variances). So your baby's head being in the 90th percentile means his head is probably like a tad bigger than an average baby at this gestation. It doesn't mean his head is 90% bigger than normal. And babies all grow differently. So this week, your babys head grew a little fast and maybe next week the body will catch up. It's nothing to worry about at all. If there was an abnormality, they would have told you. Same with babies measuring a few weeks ahead. It's just an average and every baby is different. I remember freaking out at my 16 week appt and My fundal height was only measuring at 14. The next appt I was measuring at 18. And then the next one I was measuring 2 weeks ahead. So unless your doc is worried, I wouldn't be.
Growth Differences
Our babies head is showing at the 90% centile and is measuring nearly 2 weeks ahead. They have said they have no concerns medically wise. Has anyone been told this and it's all been ok?!?!
