Summary

Fetal macrosomia defined as birth weight above 90th centile ,macrosomia occurs in 42-62%of pregnancy complicated by type 1 diabetes mellitus ,in 30-56% of pregnancy complicated by type 2 diabetes mellitus . -The delivery of macrosomic infant has potentially severe consequence for both the newborn and mother .Increased birth weight increase the risk in the fetus of shoulder dystocia and premature brachial plexus injury ,and those infant weighing above 4500g are at increased risk for neonatal morbidity ,including the need for assisted ventilation and meconium aspiration .Maternal complication result from operative delivery and include postpartum hemorrhage ,third or fourth degree laceration and postpartum infection .

Detailed description

Estimated fetal body weight is needed especially when head measurement is impossible whenever the fetal head is positioned low in pelvic brim .A convenient method for estimating fetal body weight without head measurement was thus required . -The human placenta develop with the principal function of providing nutrients and oxygen to the fetus ,adequate fetal growth and subsequent normal birth weight depend on normal placenta .
