Assessment of the relation between fetal hemodynamic indices in late pregnancy and birth weight in gestational diabetic mellitus mothers: a correlational study

ABSTRACT

Background: The offspring of women with gestational diabetes mellitus [GDM] are prone to macrosomia. However, birth weight is difficult to be correctly estimated by ultrasound because of fetal asymmetric growth characteristics. This study aimed at investigating the correlations between fetal hemodynamics, fetal growth indices in late pregnancy and birth weight in GDM
