thanks forthe reasurrance guys, i think im becomeing a hyperchondriac(sp?)! i think i blame the sonogropher tho, shes like oh and his head is measuring several weeks ahead...are you planning on a vaginal birth? me-yes... sonogropher- oh (awkward pause) well i'll just print the report blah blah blah.
Df has a big head as do all the boys in his family but since none of my family do, i was sorta hoping for him to take after me! but glad it means he wont necessarily come early, i would like to have him on or almost on his due date!
beema- hehehe yes my "tidy little bundle" is really harbouring a "giant baby" it seems :P

How dare she say that about vaginal delivery! Our bodies are made to deliver any baby we create! Grrr... !!
Have a look at dubdubdub dot homebirth-only dot com and look in the homebirths part.. These are all tiny women that give birth to big babies.. without medical intervention because they know they are fine.
Aparently big babies are hereditry, and my mum had 5 babies, the smallest being 8p 13oz and the rest being over 9 and a half. And my mum aint no giant thats fo sure! Oh and she never tore (bar one)

Head size doesn't mean much in birth hun. I hate when people who are sposed to be medical professionals do that! What a twit! Wonder if she's even had kids.
My last had the biggest head of my 3 with not even a graze, where as my girls heads were the same size & my tear was worse with my 2nd than it was with my 1st.
I've not had a stitch yet & my babies weren't real small!! There's no real way for anyone to know the actual size of your baby til its born. Not weight, HC anything.
Trust your body. It was made to birth your baby

And the funny think about the head size is that the shoulders have to come up out after the head... pretty sure last time i checked the shoulders were the worst part! He slid out after that though!
