Question
My wife is currently pregnant with her second child. The expected due date is around March 27th. The four-dimensional ultrasound and Down syndrome screening tests were all normal before. However, during the examination on March 12th in my hometown, the obstetrician at the hospital said she has a large baby.
Answer
I’m glad to explain this to you. According to your ultrasound examination results, your baby’s head is indeed a bit too large. If the fetal head is too large to pass through the birth canal easily, it may lead to difficult labor and the need for a cesarean section. Your wife’s coagulation test is indeed problematic. This situation requires enhanced prenatal and postpartum care to prevent vascular diseases. It is recommended to be hospitalized for delivery before the expected due date.
