Suspected macrosomia is encountered commonly in obstetric practice. As birth weight increases, the likelihood of labor abnormalities, shoulder dystocia, birth trauma, and permanent injury to the newborn increases. The purpose of this document is to quantify those risks, address the accuracy and limitations of methods for estimating fetal weight, and ...

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most common metabolic disorder in pregnancy. GDM is associated with serious maternal and fetal complications, in particular, fetal macrosomia and large for gestational age (LGA), which predisposes to a higher ...

Association between maternal factors and fetal macrosomia in full-term singleton births
Background: Macrosomia, defined as a birth weight of ≥4000 g, is associated with a high risk of birth injury. Fetal growth is highly correlated with maternal conditions, and several maternal factors are associated with neonatal birth size.

Macrosomia and large for gestational age in Asia: One size does not fit all
Macrosomia, usually defined as infant birth weight of ≥4000 g, does not consider gestational age, sex, or country/region‐specific differences in mean birth weight and maternal body weight.

Birthweight has increased in the last century partly attributed to increasing maternal obesity and prevalence of gestational diabetes. Although changes in mean birthweight reflect the trends and demography of the population, increased risk of adverse outcomes occurs at the extremes of the distribution (i.e. in small and large infants).

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the link between pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity and risk of macrosomia is mediated by both gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and high maternal triglyceride (mTG) levels.
