Anyone else with a big head?

Question

My baby's head circumference is measuring in the 96th percentile and baby is measuring 2 weeks ahead. My poor vagina!!! I'm scared... my other 2 were little. Only 5 and 6 lbs.

Answer

Yes! My sons head is measuring very large. My husband has a big head, figured one of my kids would have one lol.

Answer

If it helps at all my baby was born in the 50th percentile (he still is) but his head is like the 95th lol. He was out in two minutes.

Answer

Mines head is measuring 99th percentile and 4 weeks ahead so I’m with you! I will say my daughter was also pretty big and while recovery was definitely not the most pleasant (I had major tearing) the actual delivery wasn’t bad at all. I’ve always said I’d take labor and delivery again any day over pregnancy!

Answer

All of my girls, and this sweet boy have had head circumference in the 90%+, so I can relate! Lol. I’ve only torn once. And barelyyyyy. I needed like two stitches.

Answer

My first had a huge head. He did get stuck so they used forceps to help him out. I did tear but it wasn’t horrible. He weighed 9lbs 9.6oz.

Answer

my sons head is measuring 2 weeks ahead to!! everything else measured at 32.5 weeks and his head measured 34.5. they didn’t say anything about it though 😵‍💫

Answer

My baby has a massive head. I’m stressed about it bc same happened to my sister - her baby’s head was in the 99th percentile and after 20 hours of unmedicated labor his head got stuck in the birth canal and she had a botched emergency c section.  My sister also had a 90+ % head and my mom birthed her vaginally but had 4th degree tearing. I’m terrified of surgery but may opt for a planned c section since my baby’s head is so big. 😭. He is still breech so I may not have a choice anyway
