For some reason alot of the new mums Ive come across lately (including my own sister) seem to think that a bub with a head circ of more than 34cm at birth has a overly large head!?

I thought 34-36cm was perfectly average size. Mine were 35cm, 33cm, 34cm and I pushed them out no worries? And I have a very temperamental perenium.

My sister goes on and on about my nephews head circ being 34cm and thats why she had an episiotomy........I dont consider 34cm epi-worthy large at all and think she had it for an entirely different reason. Ive noticed she says it to all her first time mum-to-be friends (and they are all young mums ie under 22) and I get a bit annoyed that she is scare mongering, albeit unintentionally, and could be making them think something that isnt at all true!

Have I missed something?
