Is it true that if your baby has a big head, a natural vaginal delivery is not possible?

There is no definite answer for this issue. Its more about you only get to know after you have tried it out. It also depends on the mommy's built. If mommy belongs to a smaller built, there will be a higher chance of emergency c-sec if she were to try natural delivery due to baby's big head being unable to pass thru the mummy's pelvic bone. If the mommy's belong to the bigger built, there would be a higher chance of delivering vaginally. There is no right or wrong answer for this.

Baby's head can mold and overlap, reducing the head circumference and your vagina wall is expandable. Thanks to the hormone relaxin to prepare your body for labour and birth. It requires preparation in both mind and body for labour. Our bodies are capable to birth our babies in any size. Most babies are within the normal size of 2.5kg to 4kg. Above 5kg is consider big but not impossible to birth such a big baby vaginally as well. When you are relatively relaxed, baby is in an optimal position, you are free to move about during labour, you should have no issue in a vaginal birth. Have faith in yourself. You can do it.

Like Jorelle mentioned, it differs from each woman. I have a friend who's really petite and small but she managed to pop out her 4kg baby daughter via norma delivery. Another friend who's an average Singaporean built who had to do emergency C-Sec even though her baby was about 3.4kg (she didn't dilate fast enough). Keep an open mindset - your gynae would be able to advise you better based on your scans to see baby's growth.
