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.

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 checks if measuring your baby's belly, thigh, and leg bones with ultrasound can give a more accurate estimate of your baby's weight before birth. This might help doctors plan a safer delivery.
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 trial compares two ways to estimate a larger-than-average baby's weight before birth: ultrasound and MRI. If you have a single baby at full term and your doctor thinks your baby may be big, this study may help improve how well we predict birth weight.
This study looks at whether measuring the baby's collarbone with ultrasound can help predict if a baby will be born larger than usual. This could help doctors plan for a safer delivery.
