Fetal Biometry Parameters in a Pregnant Woman With Gestational Diabetes

The objective of this study was to evaluate fetal biometry parameters in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, in a 37-year-old pregnant woman who developed gestational diabetes. Repeated ultrasound examinations consistently showed an estimated fetal weight above the 90th percentile of the fetal growth. Fetal biometry performed at 33w0d estimated a weight of approximately 4393+/-459 grams at 38w0d of gestation, if the average weekly growth is considered to be 250 grams, but which will probably be exceeded given the current growth rate. Considering that the patient gave birth the first time by cesarean section, the birth will be performed at 38 weeks of gestation, also by this method.
