Hi All My baby was born with HC of 32 cm at 37 weeks. My anomaly scan and growth scan was normal. In 5 months we have noticed good growth in baby including HC which has increased to 42 cm. Baby has been meeting all milestones till date (social smile, rolling over, grasping toys) Should I be worried about microcephaly?
