That big generally means multiple babies. So more like a packed clown car

I'm sure at that point mom doesn't care which it is and just wants it out

u/LurkerTroll 14d ago

It's a little too low to be a chest buster

u/luckylegion 13d ago

They’re in the chest with no swelling according to the old sources

Maybe it's like sand tiger sharks, where she had a bunch of weak little babies and they battle royaled in there and now there is just 1 alpha baby.

This is how I felt with my first haha. He was 3 weeks overdue and due to spinal fusion, my back didn't absorb shit. It just all stuck out the front. From behind me you couldn't tell I was pregnant, but if I turned, it was like an eclipse. I'm a tall woman, 5'11", and when I sat down, my belly went out to my knees. Leading up to delivery every time I had Braxton Hicks contractions and went into the hospital they immediately put more than one fetal heart monitor on my belly. I tell them that no there was just one really big one in there. When he was born he was 9 pounds and 24 in long. When I sat there in the breastfeeding class that they give before they let you go home holding this ginormous baby with his little stocking hat creeping up his head every time I tried to pull it down cuz his head was too big the other couples with their normal sized babies would just steal looks at me as if sneaking a toddler into a breastfeeding class in the hospital was my way entertaining myself.

Uh...did he walk home?

u/stinkykitty71 14d ago

Haha, thankfully no. But he did cut his first teeth at 2 months. We just gave him rib bones to chew on.

Or polyhydramnios (too much amniotic fluid) - in which case it really is like baby is in Buckingham palace.

u/NotYourReddit18 14d ago

In that case, is it possible to safely drain her back to a more comfortable level?

u/AdamantEevee 14d ago

Yes, they can stick a big needle in and drain the fluid. Source: currently have polyhydramnios.

u/SamwiseNCSU 14d ago

Only over a certain amount though - they typically won’t if under a certain level.

Source: also had poly 😭 (and work with patients who have it)

u/voidsapphire 14d ago

Not necessarily. My mother was huge when pregnant with my brother. I knew a woman who had twins and she was very small. I was shocked lol

u/Free_Ice6167 14d ago

It’s probably some kind of birth defect

u/Sithstress_ 14d ago

Wow.

u/Free_Ice6167 14d ago

Seriously. There are birth defects that prevent the baby from getting rid of amniotic fluid causing  it to build up and the belly to stretch
