Hi. I've posted this in baby club, but thought someone on here might have experienced this too. Jenny's HC has gone from 75th centile to 96th. HV said it could possibly be fluid on the brain and to monitor it closely. It's gone up 1.6 cm in three weeks. Anyone had similar who can advise?
 
Hydrocephalus?? My son has this. His head went up from 33cm to 39cm in the first week.

Hydro is over production of fluid in the brain. It is treated by the insertation of a drain called a shunt. My son has one of these. It is a pain in the ass for 50% of people with them, but 50% do well! MSG me if you want to know more x
