Antenatal prediction of fetal macrosomia in pregnancies affected by maternal pre-gestational diabetes

Higher rates of fetal macrosomia may occur in infants of women with pre-gestational diabetes compared with non-diabetic controls. Antenatal predication of fetal macrosomia remains challenging. Ultrasound over-estimated fetal weight could result in over-classification of fetuses as macrosomic with corresponding inappropriate clinical interventions. Previously we had studied a measurement - the anterior abdominal wall measurement (AAW) - to...
