ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a method called Fetal Abdominal Subcutaneous Tissue Thickness (FASTT) to see if it can help predict the weight of babies before they are born. The researchers want to find out if measuring the thickness of the fat under the skin of the fetus during a routine ultrasound can indicate whether a baby is larger or smaller than average at birth, especially for women who do not have diabetes.

To participate in this study, women need to be between 37 to 42 weeks pregnant with a single baby and agree to take part. However, those with diabetes, certain pregnancy-related health issues, or specific fetal conditions will not be included. While the trial is not yet recruiting participants, those who join can expect to have their ultrasound measurements taken and contribute to important research that could help improve prenatal care in the future.
