Description
Hayfaa Wahabi and co-authors study very large babies in more than twelve thousand pregnancies in Saudi Arabia, in a paper from 2024. Large birth weight raises the risk of stuck shoulders, urgent surgery birth, and poor newborn scores.
By one cut off, just over three in a hundred term babies counted as large. Risk rose with mother age, many past births, late term, high pre pregnancy weight, and high blood sugar. Large babies faced a much higher risk of stuck shoulders and urgent surgery birth. The heaviest group also faced higher stillbirth risk and lower newborn health scores.
