Ultrasound to detect large baby at full term
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests how well ultrasound can predict if a baby will be born larger than normal (macrosomia) within 24 hours of delivery. It might help parents and doctors plan for a safer birth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are pregnant with one baby (not twins or more).
- Your doctor suspects your baby is larger than 95% of babies (or 90% if you have diabetes) based on an ultrasound between 32 and 34 weeks.
- You are having a follow-up ultrasound around 36 weeks to check for a large baby.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether measuring the thickness of the baby's belly fat with ultrasound can help predict the baby's weight before birth. This is for women at full term (37 to 42 weeks) with one baby.
This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool can more accurately estimate a baby's weight using ultrasound, compared to standard methods. If you're about to give birth, this study may help improve how doctors predict your baby's size.
This study tests whether specific ultrasound measurements taken just before delivery can accurately predict your baby's weight. Researchers will measure your baby's belly, thigh soft tissue, and leg bone length to see if these measurements help doctors estimate birth weight more precisely.
This study tests if new blood markers can help predict gestational diabetes and the risk of having a large baby. It could lead to earlier detection and better care.
This trial studies whether a specific ultrasound approach can better detect problems with fetal (baby) growth in the later part of pregnancy. It may help identify concerns earlier so your care team can plan the next steps.
This study uses an ultrasound to measure your baby's collarbone to see if it can predict if your baby will be larger than average (macrosomia). This may help doctors plan for a safer delivery.
