A. Take a follow up there is range for head circumference at a particular age. you have to meet the doctor to see if it is within normal limits or not. if you feel that it is more or less it is advisable to consult the doctor because only head circumference is not a criteria for any pathology.

A. But actually looking at the birth statistics that you have provided and the current statistics as per the growing age of your child seems completely fine if your doctors advised you to go ahead with something then get it checked maybe they are detecting some issue but as per normal statistics this looks completely fine
