My baby had her 18 month well check today and my pedi said she looks great and is right on track but that her head is on the bigger side (which I never thought it was) and to bring her back in 2 months to check the size again. He said depending on the size then she may need an MRI to rule out hydrocephalus and stuff like that. Has this happened to anyone else? Up until now he has never mentioned her head being big. In my opinion it’s not at all! It’s 19 cm in circumference and the average for a toddler is 16-18.

My son has a huge head and his soft spot still needs to close and he's almost 3. The pedi said she worried about that with him too but he was fine.

Possibly? Can you look back at what the measurements were over previous visits? My son's was 18.5" at 12m, so not much of an increase.

I know my son has always had a big head, but it's in proportion to his body and has stayed on pretty much the same curve.

@nomli, i really never ever thought of her as having a big head. Unless he thinks it has spiked in growth? Now he has me all worried 😟

His head was 19" at 18 months, too, and no one said anything about it being too big.

My doctor said he would induce my labor at 38 weeks, if my baby girl still had growth issues and if the percentile dropped to 10 or less. Last thursday, it was 10 percentile, and he said if she didn't come on her own by 38 weeks, he would induce labor at that time. I'm 36 weeks 1 day today, he said my cervix was super thin, and 1cm dilated. Is there a possibility this can change... that my doctor will let her just come on her own? I don't want to be induced, i would much rather her come on her own when she is ready to come ! As much as I am anxious to meet her and have her home with me, those last few weeks of brain development and lung maturation means so much more to me! I'm hoping and praying that things turn around, and I don't have to get induced. I'm surely going to talk to my doctor about it Thursday when I go back.
