big baby

Obstetric emergencies refer to critical situations during pregnancy, labor, or the postpartum period that require immediate medical attention to safeguard the health and well-being of the mother and/or baby. But are these really emergencies?

Many women today are being told they either have a Large for Gestational Age Baby (LGA) or Small for Gestational Age Baby (SGA). IUGR is another term thrown around independently that needs fixing. It is important to note that these issues are often figured out at a scan at 36 wks or so and one diagnosis is often considered as the standalone complexity and women are then presented with options to fix it, mostly an Induction.

Now, big babies have all been born through history vaginally without any issues. Similar is for small babies, why is then these are seen as problems?

We sit down today with KL Goode, a Hawaain traditional midwife with over 53 years of experience and having assisted over 1400 births. Her transfer for surgery rate has been as low as 4% . She has served in India on and off and is currently based in Kolkata. She is currently training a batch of traditional midwifes aka birth keepers.

She takes us through the following significant points in Part I of this discussion

1. Is Big baby or Small Baby really an issue?
2. If not, when is it that it becomes an issue?
3. What's the truth behind the claim that big babies can't fit through the pelvis?
4. What has Gestational Diabetes to do with a Large Baby?
5. What is a  midwife's way of working with a  Large or Small Baby

Tune in to learn more.

In Part II , we discuss Small for Gestational Age babies and IUGR at length and conclude our discussion.

Hayley and Katja Schoenberg bravely share their story of conceiving using donor sperm, going through a pregnancy during covid times, and having an unwanted induction of labour for a predicted big baby, which lead to a traumatic birth experience for them both.  

This isn't an easy story to hear, but it's essential for both you and your partner to understand so you can try to avoid going through many of the devastating procedures and interventions that caused this trauma.
