Can giant babies develop blood clots?

Patient's question:

My partner is currently pregnant with her second child. The estimated due date is around March 27th. During the previous 4D ultrasound and Down syndrome screening tests, everything was fine. However, on March 12th, when she had a check-up in her hometown, the obstetrician at the hospital said it was a large baby.

Doctor's answer:

Hello. It's a pleasure to explain this to you. According to your ultrasound results, your baby's head is indeed a bit too large. If the baby's head is too large, it may not be easy to pass through the birth canal. This could lead to a difficult birth requiring a cesarean section. Your wife's coagulation test results are indeed problematic. In this case, it is necessary to strengthen prenatal and postnatal care to prevent vascular diseases. It is best to be hospitalized for delivery before the estimated due date.
