Fetal macrosomia is defined as birth weight over 4,000 grams. Macrosomia is a health predictor that is associated with increased neonatal morbidity, shoulder dystocia, birth injuries, complications during delivery, and increased risk of long-term chronic diseases. At the population level, the indicator summarizes various adverse conditions for maternal health, such as: poor nutrition, gestational diabetes, excessive weight gain during pregnancy, pre-pregnancy obesity, and/or poor care during pregnancy.
