Testing ultrasound measurements to predict baby weight
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant with one baby (not twins or multiples)
- You are at least 37 weeks pregnant (at or past your due date)
- You will have an ultrasound scan within 2–3 days before delivery
- Your baby has no known birth defects or structural problems
- You do not have too much or too little amniotic fluid (the fluid around your baby)
- You are willing to participate and share your information

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 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 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.
