What is the appropriate weight for a baby delivered vaginally?

Patient's question:

I am already seven months pregnant. For a while, my appetite was particularly good, and now it looks like my stomach is very large. My family is a bit worried about a difficult birth. I want to ask, what is the general weight limit for a normal delivery without any complications?

Doctor's answer:

Whether it is possible to have a natural birth depends on the width of the pregnant woman's pelvis, the size of the fetus, the strength of contractions, and a comprehensive consideration of whether a vaginal trial delivery is feasible. The ideal weight at birth is generally around 3 kilograms. If the fetus weighs more than 4 kilograms, the risk of dystocia is relatively high. It is recommended to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits during the later stages of pregnancy, avoid excessive nutrition leading to macrosomia, which may cause dystocia and complications for the pregnant woman, and do not eat overly greasy foods or too much sugar. Exercise more.
