Head measuring big, but body small?

Question

I had a growth scan at 26 weeks yesterday. His head diameter is 87%, head circumference is 73%, abdomen is 27%, femur length is 29%. Overall he’s in the 34th percentile and they say I’m measuring consistently with my due date. Has anyone else had a baby with the head measuring much larger than the body?? Trying not to be concerned 🥺

Answer

Did they say if it was alarming to them? My husband is not a huge guy and none of his siblings are big either just normal shorter people but we all had some big headed babies lol my first was an emergency C-section because his head got stuck in my pelvis so having a big baby head is not not normal. Unless the doctors have worries don’t stress yourself or it will become a bigger thing. Pregnancy is hard and worries are inevitable but you have to be easy on you at the same time and not drive yourself crazy.
