Placenta thickness and baby weight to predict pregnancy problems
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to measure the thickness of the placenta and compares it to the baby's weight to see if it can predict pregnancy complications. It may help doctors identify pregnancies that need extra monitoring.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant with one baby (not twins or triplets)
- You are between 28 and 38 weeks pregnant
- You agree to participate and sign a consent form
- Your baby has no known birth defects
- You do not have a chronic medical condition that affects fetal growth (like diabetes, high blood pressure, or kidney disease)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how the thickness of the placenta affects pregnancy outcomes in women with placenta previa. It may help doctors better manage pregnancies with this condition.
This study looks at ultrasound images of the placenta taken during pregnancy to see if they can predict how well the placenta works or what it looks like under a microscope. It may help doctors understand more about pregnancy complications like fetal growth restriction.
This study uses ultrasound to measure the placenta and the uterine muscle where it attaches, to help predict heavy bleeding after childbirth in women with placenta accreta. The goal is to better identify who might be at risk, so doctors can be prepared and improve safety during delivery.
This study screens pregnant people for signs of fetal distress during labor by measuring proteins from the placenta. It aims to predict complications early, so doctors can act faster to keep both mom and baby safe.
This study looks at how the placenta is working in pregnancies that are planned for cesarean delivery after at least 37 weeks. Researchers compare different pregnancy situations (including some common complications) and check placenta function to better understand placental health.
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.
