Patient's question:
There are only a few days left until the due date. Since getting pregnant, my weight has increased to 180 pounds. I am currently in the hospital for childbirth. I feel that my body is under a lot of strain. Can I have a natural birth at 180 pounds?Doctor's answer:
Whether or not a woman can give birth naturally is not measured by weight. Firstly, whether a woman can give birth naturally during the late stage of pregnancy mainly depends on whether her pelvis is narrow and the condition of the fetus itself. If there are no signs of fetal distress in the uterus and the pelvis of a normal woman is normal, she can give birth naturally. If the above conditions exist in the late stage of pregnancy, gynecological internal examination and pelvic measurement can be performed. If there are no abnormalities and no umbilical cord, a trial delivery can be attempted.
