In the final weeks of your pregnancy, it starts to set in that you will actually have to birth your baby. EEK!
Lots of emotions there!
So when your doctor drops a bomb saying that your baby is “measuring big”, it can really ramp up the anxiety and leave you doubting your ability to have the birth you’ve pictured.
Let’s sort through the myths and facts about Big Babies (aka fetal macrosomia) so you can have an informed and empowered birth experience!
Fetal macrosomia is a condition where the fetus weighs more than 8 pounds 13 ounces (4,000 grams) at birth.
Risk factors for fetal macrosomia include:
maternal age
- gestational diabetes
- obesity in the mother
- family history of large babies
Diagnosis is usually made through ultrasounds or other prenatal tests, although they are often WRONG!
