  • A medical condition in the mother: diabetes, high blood pressure or a known chronic illness.
  • A medical condition in the fetus: suspicion of fetal hypotrophy (fetal biometrics lower than the 10th percentile), a birth defect (a chromosomal abnormality) during the pregnancy.

  • A body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 before the pregnancy.
  • Multiple pregnancies
  • A gap of less than 4 weeks between the date of the ultrasound and the date of delivery.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
fetal growth
Time Frame: at birth
. During routine prenatal third trimester ultrasonography patients had a fetal weight estimation and measurement of the umbilical resistance index. After delivery we took note of the weight at birth, the term of the delivery, and the time interval between the ultrasound and the delivery, and then we calculated the weight gain on a weekly basis.
