Abstract

The main risk factors for fetal macrosomia were higher maternal weight and height, advanced age as well as post-datism, previous delivery of a large newborn, male fetus and being in a marital relationship. A well-designed protocol to identify women with risk factors for fetal macrosomia may help to provided targeted interventions in this group.
