    my baby was born at 36w also and her head circumference was 32.0cm. she weighed 6lb7oz (2915g) and she just made it into the 3rd percentile. didn't make it hurt any less. and when i had an ultrasound @ 34weeks they told me that her head was below average in size. and they were right.

    Yes, we were told head measurements BECAUSE they said it was small. We had an u/s at 36 weeks because they thought her sizes were wrong (decided to worry us and say she was measuring for a 30 week ) anyway, they said during the u/s that head was small (33cm) tummy big (can't remember measurements) and legs short. So I pictured a turtle!!! Anyway, I forgot how LITTLE cm's are and there's really not much diff between 33 and 36 for example. So don't worry!! I think we are given too much info during pregnancy. my bub was perfect even though she measured like a turtle in the womb!!! xoxo
