title: [Clinical fetal weight estimation and prediction of macrosomia].
abstract: The purpose of this study is to assess symphysis fundal height measurement in prediction of fetal macrosomia and to search for the error causes. A retrospective study concerning 400 macrosomic newborns was performed. For each pregnant woman before delivery, we have reviewed fundal height, weight, height and newborn weight. Influence of obesity and maternal height were especially studied. Fundal height measurement is not reliable in prediction of fetal macrosomia. Patient body mass and height may be error causes.
