Episode 29 & 30 - Big Babies Small Babies

Does size matter? Well sometimes it does - but how do we know the size of your baby? In this episode Mel explores the accuracy of technologies that can help determine the size of a baby before it’s born, the factors that influence the size of your baby and the place of induction when your baby falls outside of the ‘normal’ size range’. We explore the issues around 'big' babies, why they grow that way and how to navigate the consequences of being diagnosed with a ‘Big baby’. In this episode Mel shared her Guide to giving birth without pain medication, you can get it here. This episode is sponsored by Poppy Child from Pop That Mumma.
