Head measurements big

My babies head was measuring 2 weeks ahead. The rest of his body was around 40 percentile and his head was at 89 percentile. Is that okay? His head was 24 weeks when I’m 22 week.  The fm doctor didn’t say anything about it but I’m still worried :(

    our baby’s arms were in the 82nd percentile and everything else was between 30-60. They just said she has long arms (no concerns), but we’re talking mm-cm here haha. The MFM doctor will come in and speak with you with anything concerning so it sounds like she/he saw everything as good; congrats!

    My first's head was always measuring in the 80-90 percentile but the rest of her was lower than 50.  She's 19 months and still has a big head but now the rest of her is starting to catch up.  If the doctor didn't say anything, I wouldn't be concerned.  The only thing that might get brought up is your delivery.  If his head and shoulders get really big, they may suggest a c-section.  My daughter was small but I had to have a c-section a week before her due date for other reasons.  For this one, at his anatomy scan he was measuring a week ahead and the doctor mentioned that depending on how big his head and shoulders get I might be looking at a c-section again.
