After a newborn is born, it is necessary to check every part of the body to see if it meets normal standards, whether it is healthy, and so on. What is the biparietal diameter of a newborn?
The normal value for biparietal diameter is generally 9.28 centimeters, and even if there is a deviation, it is between 8.78-9.78 centimeters. As long as the biparietal diameter of a newborn is within this range, it is considered normal. But this value refers to the biparietal diameter of full-term newborns. If the newborn is under months old, the biparietal diameter value may also fluctuate.
But now some people have found that the biparietal diameter of newborns is generally larger, which is mainly related to the excessive supplementation of nutrients by mothers during pregnancy, and the low activity level of pregnant mothers, resulting in the development of a larger biparietal diameter in newborns. In this case, as long as the newborn is found to be healthy and there are no abnormalities in the head, there is no need to worry.
Some mothers are worried that the fetal biparietal diameter will be under a lot of pressure during vaginal delivery, and the fetal head may get stuck and unable to come out during delivery. In fact, this concern is very unfounded. Even if the fetal biparietal diameter is found during a prenatal examination, doctors will promptly recommend a cesarean section to help pregnant women give birth.
