S1 EP 26: Big babies, fundal height measurement and third trimester growth scans

Author: The Dungaree Doula May 26, 2023 Duration: 27:43

Welcome to The Doula's Guide To... Podcast, season 1 episode 26 all about big babies, fundal height measurement and third trimester growth scans. This is another solo episode chatting about the big baby dilemma, a topic I'm incredibly passionate about because I see day in day out clients, friends and followers being told their baby is "too big" despite us not really being able to tell whether a baby is too big or not until they're born! I'm chatting about the benefits, risks and inaccuracies of fundal height measurement, third trimester scans and what happens if these things trigger the big baby scare. I hope you find it helpful and that it gives you lots of food for thought.
