Estimating baby's weight with ultrasound measurements before birth
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are carrying a single baby, not twins or more.
- Your pregnancy is at least 37 weeks along (full term).

- You do not have conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, lupus, or other health problems that can affect baby's growth.
- You do not have too little or too much amniotic fluid, and your baby has no known birth defects.

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.
This trial tests a new way to estimate your baby's weight before birth, using ultrasound measurements. It aims to improve accuracy for timing and delivery planning.
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 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 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 ultrasound to check how well your baby is growing during pregnancy. It helps doctors understand normal growth patterns so they can better care for you and your baby.
