Does the large size of my baby increase my chances of needing a C-section?

The main reason to consider a cesarean section for a large baby is concern about shoulder dystocia. Shoulder dystocia refers to difficulty in delivering a baby's shoulders (and, therefore, the rest of the baby) after the head has emerged from the birth canal. Estimates of the baby's size are not consistently accurate at full term, whether they are arrived at through ultrasound or through examination by a midwife or doctor.

Additionally, there is no accurate and safe way to measure the mother's pelvis to determine whether a particular baby will fit through. Therefore, routine delivery of a "large baby" by cesarean section is not justified. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists advises physicians to consider a cesarean if they estimate the baby's weight at more than eleven pounds in a woman who does not have diabetes or more than about ten pounds in a woman who has diabetes.1 However, the evidence to support this position is inconclusive.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
