Baby has large head circumference

Hello all. My son was born 2 weeks early because of IUGR. His IUGR was asymmetrical where his head grew larger than his body. At our 4 month appointment the doctor told us that his head is still growing at a faster rate than his body & referred us to get an ultrasound. I’m a nervous wreck!!! Has anyone else experienced this? His ultrasound is Monday & I can’t stop thinking about it.

He might just have a big head.. my sons head is also very large apparently but nobody seems worried

@Allex yes that’s what my husband is reassured me! But being a first time mom I feel like I worry so much!

Definitely understand girl. Try not to stress yourself out to much. My 4month old also has a pretty big head. His been in the 95% since he was born. It seems his finally growing into it. It will be ok keep the positive thoughts

My girl was off the chart in head circumference. By 3mths she was wearing hates for for 1yr Olds and by 1 she needed hats for 2-3yr Olds 🤣🤣 some babies just have big heads and they grow into it as they grow!

My daughters head is 95th percentile so it has nothing to do with that. She rolls over both ways and keeps head up no problem for over a month now. My 3y/0 hated tummy time and did all that later. All babies are different and reach milestones differently. It could also be because your baby is bored. I believe that’s why my almost 5m/o doesn’t mind it because there’s so much going on with her sister around. Try moving toys with music or if there’s something your baby loves like FaceTiming her favorite person while doing tummy time
