Freaking out!!!

My baby’s head is messuring on the 97th centile and I have just read that it could be Macrocephaly 😰 or linked to later autism… And I wonder if I am even able to give birth to such size of head. I don’t know why my midwife has not Said anything about it.

How many weeks are you? My girl was measuring 99th at 35 weeks, it may be that the heads finished growing and will level out as you get further, only reason I can think of why you werent spoken to x

Both of my babies heads measured bigger than there bodies however both came out fine 😂 my 2nd baby was a lot bigger than my first however the birth was ok

SGA advice please

Hi all.
Last week at my 31 week midwife appointment, we found that baby was measuring lower than average so was sent for a scan yesterday. They have now found that baby is measuring on the 4th percentile and so I will need to go for weekly scans to monitor baby.
Up until now we have been really lucky to have had a smooth pregnancy without any complications and so I know it's common for this to happen, I am still feeling scared and upset as a first time mum.
Just reaching out to see if anyone else is going through the same. ❤️

Probably a really stupid question but will I be able to tell when my bump has dropped?

Kids birthday parties

Do you think a 3pm–5pm party is too late for a 6th birthday on a non-school night?

Boy names suggestions

I like names that are slightly more unusual than Noah, Theo, etc. but not totally out there. Nothing ending in -den, and we are in the UK, so probably not Hudson, Cooper etc (Nothing wrong with any of the names mentioned, just not our style).

Would love some suggestions...
