Hi Kelsey, I’m in the same boat. >99th percentile. I freaked out for a bit but some notes on the positive side:— the measurements are often significantly off, especially if he’s head down and tucked into your pelvis— a big head means he’s less likely to get his shoulders stuck, which can injury the baby — my doctor said if the head doesn’t fit, my labor won’t progress so we will do a back up C-section. My biggest fear is a grade 4 tear, so that was comforting. I thought he wouldn’t get stuck until he was crowning, but they should know earlier — there are lots of factors that influence how easily they come out, including if they’re facing back or front. So it’s not the be all end all if he has a big dome.Hope that helps! I’m still def crossing my fingers that he comes early!!!
Babies head over 99 percentile at 32 weeks
Anyone else been told their child is going to have a large head? 😳 my dr said not to worry that it’s hereditary but after looking online I’m a nervous wreck something is wrong.
