The big baby syndrome- I'm overly tired of hearing about it. A 10lb baby is not huge. That's just what doctors tell you. Midwives help mothers deliver babies that are easily between 10 and 15lbs! And many moms don't even tear. Many moms report tougher labors and deliveries with their babies that weighed a lot less. If you are diabetic, the best thing you can do is take care of yourself. Untreated diabetes is an issue, not "big babies."
