- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method fetal growth 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.
