The diagnosis of macrocephaly should not alter prenatal care with regard to timing of delivery or mode of delivery. Long-term outcome regarding macrocephaly is sparse. [obgyn.mhmedical.com]
Macrocephaly, enlarged head size, can be seen in a wide range of conditions including hydrocephalus and genetic syndromes. Benign familial macrocephaly may be seen in multiple generations and is not associated with neurologic concerns. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Of course, I can't offer much reassurance for your labor (I had a c section so I didn't get the benefit of a vaginal with a small headed baby). C CountryPumpkin I'm 24w 4d and my baby's head is measuring 2 weeks ahead. [whattoexpect.com]
Treatment
Various surgical techniques of reduction cranioplasty for the treatment of these patients have been reported. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Depends on the cause Treatment of macrocephaly depends on the cause. Sometimes, no treatment is necessary. If the cause is an abnormality, such as hydrocephalus, treatment, including surgery, may be necessary. NOTE: This is the Consumer Version. [msdmanuals.com]
Treatment Treatment Options: No treatment has been reported. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Prognosis
Subependymal and subarachnoidal cysts may cause extraodinary displacements and compression of brain structures; nevertheless, the prognosis is rather optimistic, for the brain structure itself is generally not destroyed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis For children with benign familial macrocephaly, the prognosis is excellent. These children usually do not have any complications and have normal intelligence. For other children with macrocephaly, the prognosis is dependent upon the cause. [healthofchildren.com]
The prognosis for Perlman syndrome is poor and it is associated with a high neonatal mortality. [dbpedia.org]
Prognosis: Familial macrocephaly: normal neurological development. Secondary macrocephaly: depends on underlying condition. Unilateral or bilateral megalencephaly: developmental delay and intractable seizures. [fetalmedicine.org]
Etiology
These findings demonstrate the phenotypic heterogeneity of autism cases associated with macrocephaly and their genetic etiologies. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]
