Thoughtful Thursday! “This Is Going To Be A Big Baby. But, I ‘m Not Worried…”
“This is going to be a big baby. But, I’m not worried, you have plenty of room.” – OB to mother at the start of pushing.

This is terrific. It would have been even better if they had just said “healthy” baby. Not because bigger (or smaller) is healthier – but, it wouldn’t potentially worry the mom.
Nicely done, though.

It’s a lot better than what was said as I was pushing (background- I’m small, and I was an hbac transfer)–”you might want to rethink a 7 lber.” That “almost” freaked me out. I did, however, pause a moment…
I think the doc saying s/he wasn’t worried really would help with confidence in this instance.
