Big baby would, in my
books, be over 4000. A lot does depend on the size of the mother. Why the
caesar? Hopefully not for 'big baby'

Subject: [ozmidwifery] big baby fear?Hi all,I'm concerned that saying to a mother that their having a "nice big baby" can be a bit terrifying as my niece just told me that she was so glad she had a caesarean because he was such a big baby. He was actually only... weight 2980, length 49.5cm head circumference 35.5cm. I asked her why she thought this was big as its her second child and second ceasar. Her reply was that all through her pregnancy she was told that he was a big baby, even a very big baby! maybe it was because my niece is very overweight that this was said, I don't know? I'm sure the Midwives meant that he was a healthy baby not to huge to be birthed. What is a big baby anyway?Curious as always Julie'',
