Can a baby weighing 8 jins be delivered naturally?

A woman will give birth around forty weeks of pregnancy. Of course, some may give birth a few days earlier or later. When choosing the method of delivery, you should strictly follow the doctor's advice. If the fetus is too large, it will bring certain difficulties to natural delivery. Natural delivery also has requirements for the size of the fetus. So can a baby weighing 8 kilograms be delivered naturally? Strictly speaking, 8 catties is a bit big, but it is okay if it is the second child.

1. Can a baby weighing 8 catties be delivered naturally?

The mode of delivery is determined by many factors. It does not mean that a natural delivery is impossible if the fetus is large. It is mainly determined by the fetus, labor force, birth canal and psychological factors. Therefore, a fetus weighing eight kilograms is not a reason for not being able to give birth naturally. So this issue needs to be analyzed in detail.

2. What are the conditions for normal delivery?

1. The fetal position is appropriate. For a natural birth, the fetal position must be correct. If there are other abnormal fetal positions such as transverse position, breech position, etc., it is best not to choose a natural birth. It is not good for both adults and children and the risks are relatively high. Only when the fetus is in the correct position can you choose natural delivery.

2. There is no umbilical cord around the neck or around the neck for a period of time. If you want a natural birth, you also need to consider whether the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck. Because during birth, if the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck, it will easily strangle the baby's neck if it is not long enough, which will cause suffocation. If it is only wrapped around the neck once, there is still a chance of a natural birth. If it is wrapped around the neck two times or more, it is better to choose a caesarean section for the baby's safety.

3. The amount of amniotic fluid is normal. When giving birth, the amniotic fluid will break, and it will take some time for the baby to be born. If there is too little amniotic fluid, the baby will lack lubrication, which will prolong the delivery process and may cause difficulty breathing, which is unsafe for the baby. Therefore, if you want to give birth naturally, you also need to check whether the amount of amniotic fluid is normal.

4. No gestational hypertension or other diseases. Women with gestational hypertension or other diseases that affect natural childbirth cannot give birth naturally. Natural childbirth will increase the risks for both adults and children, so examination is required before giving birth.

5. The fetus is not macrosomia. If the baby is too large, or the biparietal diameter exceeds 100 mm, which is larger than the narrowest meridian width in the pelvis, then dystocia is likely to occur, so it is safer to choose cesarean section for giant babies.
