Ep. 393: Pushing out your big ass baby! Solocast with HeHe Stewart

It’s the final week to grab Birthing Your Big Ass Baby at pre-sale pricing! Don’t miss your chance to ditch the fear, shut down the “too big” myths, and learn exactly how to birth your baby (no matter their size) with total confidence — all for the lowest price it’ll ever be.

In this episode of The Birth Lounge Podcast, HeHe is tackling one of the most common (and misunderstood) fears in birth: having a “big baby.” From those intimidating late-pregnancy ultrasounds to the “your baby might be too big” comments, she’s breaking down what’s actually evidence-based and what’s just outdated scare tactics.

Drawing from real DMs and community questions, HeHe pulls back the curtain on how baby size is estimated (spoiler: it’s often way off), what true macrosomia really means, and why the risks around shoulder dystocia are often exaggerated. She shares the birth positions, mindset shifts, and advocacy tools that help parents stay calm, confident, and in control, no matter what their provider says about baby’s size.

You’ll also hear about her brand new course, Birthing Your Big Ass Baby, created to help you ditch the fear, trust your body, and birth your baby (no matter their size) with total confidence.

Plus, HeHe chats about safe lubrication options from her friends at Coconu (get 30% off til 10/31 with code HEHE and 15% after that), the problem with hospital baby soaps (looking at you, Johnson & Johnson), and why upright labor + open-glottis pushing are total game changers for preventing trauma and protecting your pelvic floor.

This episode is your permission slip to stop fearing a “big baby” and start trusting the truth: your body was built for this.
