Is a child weighing 7 pounds and 8 ounces at 40 weeks considered a large baby?

Patient's question:

When I was pregnant with twins, I worried about the nutrition of the little babies. During the pregnancy, I took quite a lot of supplements. Then, during delivery, I had a cesarean section, and both babies weighed over 7 pounds. My concern is about having large babies. I would like to ask if 40 weeks and 7 pounds 8 ounces is considered a large baby?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, in the early stages of pregnancy, the energy or trace elements required for the development of the fertilized egg are very small. During pregnancy, even if a woman eats very little, it is sufficient for the development of the fertilized egg. Therefore, severe gastrointestinal reactions in early pregnancy do not require special concern. Do not eat spicy, stimulating, or cold foods. Pay close attention to rest, adjust your mood, and avoid drinking cold water and drinks.
