    I have been through this with both of my melon headed sons Head circs off the charts (literally) and they were both on monthly to 3 monthly checks until at least 12 months (DS2 is only 8 months but have another check up in April and would expect this to continue until he is at least 12 months).

    We had xrays and u/sounds done for both boys from about 3 months. DS1 was totally fine, DS2 had borderline fluid build up and they also found a cyst. It was very stressful but our paed ordered repeat scans at the children's hospital (basically more experienced staff and better equipment) and these scans were fine.

    Basically both my husband and I have big heads and the boys inherited it. Since going through this ourselves, I have encountered soooooo many parents who have been through the same thing and not ONE baby had anything abnormal going on.

    It is stressful but I'm sure she'll be just fine
