Probably normal.: The fetal head measurements are notoriously inaccurate near your due date, as the baby's head is engaged in your pelvis and appears smaller than it actually is. The abdominal circumference is normal, so i would expect normal growth. Relax, follow your obstetrician's advice, keep all your prenatal care appointments and best of luck for a smooth delivery soon!

Not normal measurmen: What did your OB say , your OB should have spoken with you about the possibilities or referred you to a perinatologist for a consult, with that much difference , the baby is better off outside than inside they should be discussing getting you induced by 39 weeks at latest and doing fetal testing like bpp before then, please call your OB as your OB should have already discussed possibilities -plan.
