The woman I worked with today had a CS without labour for a 'big baby' for her first birth. She was also diagnosed as a gestational diabetic that pregnancy. Baby was 3870 - comfy but not particularly big.
Booked for a CS tomorrow, came in with ruptured membranes and some contractions last night and despite interference had a successful vaginal birth under her own steam at midday. Needless to say she is very happy. As am I. Good week this week.

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'

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'',
