A member asked:

Docs, could a baby with above average fetal head be normally delivered and not require cesarean?

Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

CPD: That depends on things like the actual size of the head and the size of the mother's pelvis. Dr. can assess for cephalopelvic disproportion .
