Excessive fetal growth and increased birth weight are associated with significant maternal and neonatal morbidity and have become increasingly common given the global obesity epidemic. Fetal macrosomia is traditionally defined in developed countries as fetal weight greater than 4,000 grams or 4,500 grams regardless of gestational age.

AbstractWhen macrosomia exists, shoulder dystocia is a pri‐mary obstetric concern. Current methods for estimating birth weight prior to delivery are imprecise, and macrosomia often cannot be predicted. Certain conditions or combinations of conditions should increase the index of suspicion for shouider dystocia.

Fetal Macrosomia—Animal Models
Diabetes Care, 1980Macrosomia is characteristic of the infant whose mother has undiagnosed diabetes mellitus during pregnancy or whose diabetes has been inadequately controlled. Animal models of diabetes have included effects of pancreatectomy or beta-cell destruction by chemical agents. Maternal effects have been variable as have been effects on the fetus.

Relationship of Glycosylated Hemoglobin, Fetal Macrosomia, and Birthweight Macrosomia
American Journal of Perinatology, 1994Previous studies have shown that glycosylated hemoglobin (Hb A1C) once elevated correlated with fetal malformations, poor perinatal outcome, and macrosomia. To determine whether Hb A1C was related to fetal diabetic complications such as polyhydramnois, fetal macrosomia, and fat line detected on ultrasonographic evaluation, 66 diabetic patient, types I,

Fetal macrosomia — maternal risks and fetal outcome
International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 1990AbstractTwo hundred eighty‐four macrosomic babies of 4000 g or over at birth were compared with an equal number of appropriate weight term infants, to identify maternal risk factors and fetal outcome. Maternal obesity, grand multiparity, diabetes mellitus and post‐maturity were the major maternal risks.

Fetal Macrosomia: Etiologic Factors
Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2000Fetal growth can be considered the outcome of an interaction between the genetic cause of growth and constraints provided by limitations on substrate availability (selected amino acids, free fatty acids, and mainly glucose). It should be noted that the majority of large infants are constitutionally large and do not require special intervention, which ...

Fetal Macrosomia – A Continuing Obstetric Challenge
Neonatology, 2006<i>Background:</i> Macrosomic fetuses represent a continuing challenge in obstetrics. <i>Objectives:</i> We studied maternal risk factors of fetal macrosomia and maternal and infant outcome in such cases. <i>Methods:</i> A retrospective cohort study was carried out with a total of 26,961 singleton pregnancies between

Fetal macrosomia in experimental maternal diabetes
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1981Fetal macrosomia in diabetic pregnancy has been shown to accompany increases in the fetal levels of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and proteins in animal model systems. In order to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of this macrosomia, the synthesis of DNA and proteins, the transport of the precursors, and the tissue level of DNA polymerase activities in

[Fetal macrosomia. Maternal and fetal implications].
Minerva ginecologica, 1993Ninety-six cases of fetal macrosomia have been tested to focus on the factors necessary to select women running the risk of delivering macrosomic fetuses. The results of these studies are the following ones: a) pregnant women with pathology are multiparas; b) they are usually characterized by peculiar weight increase in pregnancy; c) they have gone ...

Fetal macrosomia and pregnancy outcome in Lagos
International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 1989AbstractIn an analysis of 6376 singleton births the prevalence of macrosomia was 4.9%; the attending perinatal mortality was 58/1000 compared to 18/1000 in controls. Eighty‐three percent perinatal deaths occurred in unbooked patients after prolonged and neglected labor.
