- Fetal macrosomia poses health risks for you and your baby - both during pregnancy and after childbirth. (sparrow.org)
- Fetal macrosomia can cause a baby to become wedged in the birth canal (shoulder dystocia), sustain birth injuries, or require the use of forceps or a vacuum device during delivery (operative vaginal delivery). (sparrow.org)
- During childbirth, fetal macrosomia can cause a baby to injure the birth canal - such as by tearing vaginal tissues and the muscles between the vagina and the anus (perineal muscles). (sparrow.org)
- Fetal macrosomia increases the risk that your uterine muscles won't properly contract after you give birth (uterine atony). (sparrow.org)
- If you've had a prior C-section or major uterine surgery, fetal macrosomia increases the risk of uterine rupture during labor - a rare but serious complication in which the uterus tears open along the scar line from the C-section or other uterine surgery. (sparrow.org)
- An abnormally high level of amniotic fluid, polyhydramnios, alerts the clinician to possible fetal anomalies. (medscape.com)
- Fetal swallowing, which occurs physiologically, reduces the amount of fluid, and an absence of swallowing or a blockage of the fetus's gastrointestinal tract can lead to polyhydramnios. (medscape.com)

- Conclusion: These data demonstrates a significant positive relation with maternal age, diabetes in pregnancy, and fetal macrosomia with polyhydramnios. (elsevierpure.com)
- Significant differences were found between fetal macrosomia and clinical characteristics such as body mass index, parity, advanced maternal age, and male fetal sex. (bvsalud.org)
- Antenatal risk factors are important in the prediction of macrosomia, but fetal and maternal outcome depends on labour management. (bvsalud.org)
