Enlarged skull delivered by c section?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: In cases where there is the suspicion of a large baby or a baby with a significantly enlarged head a C-section would allow for less risk and possibly less harm to the baby since c sections permit a larger opening than the limited space of the birth canal.
