Pelvic inlet diameter is eight centimeters, can a baby weighing seven and a half pounds be delivered vaginally?

Patient's question:

During pregnancy, it is always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. Could a pelvic inlet of 8 cm with a fetus weighing 7.5 pounds be delivered vaginally?

Doctor's answer:

Whether the delivery is smooth or not is closely related to the size and shape of the pelvis. It is generally most suitable to measure between the 28th and 34th weeks of pregnancy, as the perineum and vagina are not sufficiently relaxed in the early stages of pregnancy, which affects the measurement results. If measurement is too late, it may easily lead to infection or premature rupture of membranes. Vaginal ultrasound for measuring the pelvic cavity is a relatively accurate and harmless new method for both mother and baby.
