@thepositivebirthcoach: “Big babies”, we are obsessed and it really irritates me 😬! Babies who habe growth restriction, yes, we need to act on that, previous growth restricted babies, we need to monitor next pregnancies.. but “big babies”, the verdict is still out…. #bigbaby #midwife #instincts #growthscans #pregnant #thirdtrimester
Everything you said happened to me! Baby measured big on a scan, led to 6 day long induction process, spinal & forceps in theatre after (1/2)
