Macrosomia refers to a condition where a newborn has an unusually high birth weight, typically defined as weighing more than 4,000 grams (8 pounds, 13 ounces) at birth. This condition can result from various factors, including maternal Diabetes, obesity, and genetics. Macrosomia may increase the risk of complications during delivery, such as shoulder dystocia, and can lead to health issues for the child later in life. Monitoring and managing maternal health during pregnancy can help reduce the risks associated with macrosomia.
