Question
Consuming excessive nutritional food during pregnancy may lead to a large baby. How can it be diagnosed?
Answer
Large babies weigh over 4 kilograms at birth and are prone to asphyxiation and birth injuries due to difficult labor. Mothers with diabetes or those who consume excessive dietary intake during pregnancy are more likely to have large babies. The diagnosis of large babies mainly relies on the measurement of fetal size and weight, with an ultrasound accuracy rate of only 67%.
