Patient's question:
I am about 37 weeks pregnant and close to giving birth. I have been thinking about having a cesarean section, but my mother-in-law insists that a natural birth is better for the child's immunity. My main concern is that my stomach is very large, and I feel like the baby is too big to deliver naturally.What kind of help would you like: What is the ideal biparietal diameter for a natural birth?
Doctor's answer:
Hello! According to the combined calculation of the fetal biparietal diameter, the estimated fetal weight is around 3260 grams. Whether it is possible to have a vaginal delivery depends on the size of the fetus, whether the internal and external pelvic measurements of the pregnant woman are normal, whether the outlet dimensions are normal, and the condition of the soft birth canal. If the pregnant woman's conditions are good, based on the current weight of the fetus, it is possible to attempt a vaginal delivery.
