ellae - 957 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) that happend with my son during my pregnancy. He was diagnosed with Intrauterine growth restriction. In no way am I telling you that this is what is going on with your son BUT if the beginning when we found out about the IUGR his head was measuring 2 weeks ahead of his body, its his bodies way of ensuring all the nurtients go to the most important organ-the brain. If that is the case youll be monitored reguarly!

He didn't sound concerned he just laughed about it (kinda) and said probably not a good thing for you in labor...his head was measuring in the 90th percentile. I was soooo scared of labor I didn't know how it would be, but I had another u/s at 36 wks and another dr told me his head was measuring normal...well anyways my son was born with an average sized head (14in.) and there were no worries :) Im sure he will grow into it..if not, your doctors will monitor you closely!

I havnt givin birth yet have 3 weeks to go now. but at 21 weeks that was HC Hope that helps you. They seemed to think was normal. If you look on ultrsound pics I just put one from that time up asking boy or girl and it has the mesurments on it.

Bangel - 958 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) nothing was said to me during my u/s, but my baby was born with his head measuring in 95 percentile, and weight only 5-10 percentile. He grew into his big head within 3 months of being born.
