About this trial
Macrosomia is associated with increased risks for both the mother and the baby, including complications during delivery, injuries, and even death. The accurate diagnosis of macrosomia is often difficult before birth. There are a number of factors that can increase the risk of macrosomia, such as maternal obesity, diabetes, and excessive weight gain during pregnancy. There are also a number of different techniques that can be used to try to predict macrosomia, but none of them are perfect.
The aim of this study is to evaluate sensitivity of measuring fetal clavicle length in third trimester compared with biacromial diameter and Hadlock formula IV for prediction of fetal macrosomia.
