ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the accuracy of two different methods for estimating the weight of a baby in the womb when there are concerns that the baby may be larger than normal, a condition known as macrosomia. The two methods being compared are sonography (an ultrasound technique) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Pregnant women who are nearing the end of their pregnancy and have been identified as having a potentially large baby may be eligible to participate.

Participants will receive both a sonogram and an MRI to estimate their baby’s weight, and then the actual weight of the baby at birth will be measured. This information will help researchers understand which method provides a more accurate estimate. Eligible participants must be having a single pregnancy that is close to term and have a suspicion of macrosomia. Those with certain conditions, like multiple pregnancies or specific fetal abnormalities, cannot take part in the study. It's important for participants to know that their involvement can help improve how doctors estimate fetal weight in the future.
