Biparietal and large head circumference

I have had my 20 week scan and I need to go for another one as they say the head circumference and biparietal is larger than average. I have been researching and I keep coming up with autism and spinda fida.
Can anyone help, or have you been through the same? Strangely the paperwork they gave me said everything normal

I always couldn't wait to fall pregnant but now I just can't wait to have the baby. It's scary as it is out of your hands and you can only let nature take it's course x

Most problems found in the womb correct themselves before birth, especially with the head. That's one of the problems of having ultrasonic technology so advanced. Many people find something that *might* be a problem only to have a healthy and completely normal baby born a few months later.

I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. I know it's hard not to because it's your baby, but there's nothing that worrying will accomplish but stress you out.
