Any suggestions??

I had a growth scan at 34 weeks yesterday. The sonographer said my boy has a large head....like you. If I didnt have a complex I do now!! My poor boy isn't even here yet. He's head is 333mm. Should I worry?

BTW,  sonographer doesnt have very good bedside manners.  I would consider complaining.  That comment was unnecessary.

My last two kids both measured large.  Im currently measuring (36 weeks) 4 weeks ahead at 32 weeks.  Both had larger heads,  in the 75-90 percentile.  All that matters is that they grow proportionate according to their growth chart.  As a matter of fact ,  my two year old measured 90 percentile in length,  head curcumferance,  abdomen,  and weight.  She is now in the 60 percentile in everything.  Shes doing great.  i guess once she was born,  she was alot more active which is why shes now in the 60 percentile.  Going through the same thing again probably,  except this one is a boy.  I think alot of this is genetic and use to go unnoticed.  However,  nowadays we get soo many ultrasounds that docs pic up things that later on really dont matter much.  Try and relax,  enjoy the pregnancy.  Everything should be fine.
