diagnose · D6 - S3
Typically the threshold for diagnosing macrosomia is a body weight between 4,000 and 4,500 grams (8 lb 13 oz and 9 lb 15 oz), or more, measured at birth, but there are difficulties reaching a universal agreement of this definition.

Evaluating an infant for macrosomia or LGA can help identify risks associated with their birth, including labor complications of both the parent and the child, potential long-term health complications of the child, and infant mortality.

lead · D6 - S13
LGA or macrosomic births can lead to complications for both the mother and the infant.
include · D6 - S14
Common risks in LGA babies include shoulder dystocia, low levels of blood sugar, brachial plexus injuries, metatarsus adductus, hip subluxation and talipes calcaneovalgus, due to intrauterine deformation.
occur · D6 - S15
Shoulder dystocia occurs when the infant's shoulder becomes impacted on the mother's pubic symphysis during birth.
impact · D6 - S15
Shoulder dystocia occurs when the infant's shoulder becomes impacted on the mother's pubic symphysis during birth.
occur · D6 - S20
Although larger babies are at higher risk for shoulder dystocia, most cases of shoulder dystocia happen in smaller babies because there are many more small and normal-size babies being born than large babies.

have · D6 - S21
LGA babies are at higher risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in the neonatal period, independent of whether the mother has diabetes.

High birth weight may also impact the baby in the long term, as studies have shown associations with increased risk of overweight, obesity, and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

weigh · D6 - S25
The risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus as an adult is 19% higher in babies weighing more than 4,500 g at birth compared to those with birth weights between 4,000 g and 4,500 g.
weigh · D6 - S27
Compared to pregnancies without macrosomia, pregnant women giving birth to newborns weighing between 4,000 grams and 4,500 grams are at twice the risk of complications, and those giving birth to infants over 4,500 grams are at three times greater risk.

The risk of having a macrosomic fetus is three times greater in mothers with diabetes than those without diabetes.
recommend · D6 - S31
Obesity before pregnancy and maternal weight gain above recommended guidelines during pregnancy are other key risk factors for macrosomia or LGA infants.

Genetics can also play a role in having an LGA baby, and it is seen that taller, heavier parents tend to have larger babies.

show · D6 - S47
Studies have shown that higher levels of triglyceride and remnant cholesterol early in pregnancy are linked to faster fetal growth and a greater chance of the baby being born larger than average for its gestational age.

Later in pregnancy, higher total cholesterol in the mother's blood has also been linked to higher birthweight, supporting the idea that maternal lipid levels can directly affect the baby's growth.

Clinical methods for estimating fetal weight involve measuring the mother's symphysis-fundal height and performing Leopold's maneuvers, which can help with determining the fetus's position in utero in addition to size.

Fetal weight can also be estimated through a mother's subjective assessment of the fetus's size, but this method is dependent on a mother's experience with past pregnancies and may not be clinically useful.
