Hi lovely, I have 2 big headed babies here, off the chart on scans, off the chart at birth and definitely off the chart now they are 3 and 1. Please DO NOT WORRY. I cannot stress this enough. They LOVE worrying pregnant women about things like head sizes. We even got absolutely terrified into ours having something called ventriculomegaly (enlarged brain ventricles), had to have SO many extra scans including ones at a specialist foetal medicine but their actual diagnosis was that they just had big heads in the end which meant big brains
My mum was told we had giant heads too (I really do have a big head to this day
) and delivered us safely and absolutely fine naturally, I only had a c section because my eldest got stuck in my pelvis but not due to his head size at all or shoulder dystocia at all. You get the impression that they’ll come out with heads double the size of their bodies but I promise you with my whole heart that they won’t, you won’t even think they’ve got a big head because it’ll be in proportion. If you feel more comfortable having an elective then push for one, but your baby will not be bigger than your body can handle I can promise you that. Shoulder dystocia isn’t usually to do with large heads and 9/10lbs is a really good projecting weight but these things are never the full picture and quite often are innacurate. Sorry for the waffle but I really hope you’re okay, try and keep your chin up
