Yes it’s extremely important. Having a big baby has implications and can determine your mode of delivery.
A big baby can cause slow progress of labor, birth injury etc
If your baby’s weight is high and you are diagnosed with fetal macrosomia (Big baby) , your doctor will not allow you to have the baby by yourself. You may need a cesarean section.
They may also have to check if there is any condition behind it and provide the necessary care.
In the extreme end if baby’s weight is also extremely low, the doctor will decide which mode of delivery will help the baby to be born safely
In all, I will say checking your baby’s weight before birth, usually done through a scan is very important and can save you and your baby’s life!
