Welcome Baby T! Born at 4.3 kg with a smooth vaginal birth—proof that big babies can be born gently and safely. 💪👶
✨ Big baby myths? Read this⬇️
Baby T weighed in at 4.3 kg (nearly 10 lbs!) and was born vaginally—calmly, confidently, and without complications. While macrosomia (babies over 4 kg) can raise concerns, peer-reviewed evidence shows that vaginal birth is often possible and safe. The Big Baby Trial (Lancet, 2025) and Evidence Based Birth® both highlight that with proper support and monitoring, many large babies are born vaginally without increased risk of tearing or emergency cesarean.
💛 As a doula, my role is to help parents stay grounded and informed. Whether you’re planning an unmedicated birth or opting for an epidural, movement, positioning, and emotional support are key. Even with epidural, gentle guidance ( when pushing) and gravity-friendly positions can help baby navigate the birth canal smoothly.
👶 Baby T’s birth was a beautiful reminder:
- Size doesn’t dictate birth outcome.
- Calm minds and supported bodies birth confidently.
- Doulas make a difference, especially when the path includes twists, turns, or surprises.
📣 Thinking about birth support? Let’s talk. I offer prenatal consults and birth doula care to help you feel empowered, informed, and ready—no matter your baby’s size :)
