Updated Evidence on Big Babies

In this episode I am joined by Erin Wilson, MPH, a research editor at Evidence Based Birth, to discuss the latest research on Big Babies. In this episode, we cover:

What is considered a "big" baby?

Can we accurately predict if a baby will be born big?
Does it really matter if a baby is born big? What are the risks?
Could suspecting that you're pregnant with a big baby be more harmful than helpful?
Is early induction beneficial for big babies?
