CORRELATION BETWEEN ULTRASONOGRAPHIC ESTIMATED FETAL WEIGHT AND MODE OF DELIVERY AMONG THE NULLIPAROUS DIABETIC PREGNANT WOMEN WITH FETAL OUTCOME

Abstract

Background: The management of pregnant women with diabetes is a critical aspect of prenatal care, necessitating vigilant monitoring and individualized decision-making to ensure the best possible fetal and maternal outcomes. Ultrasonographic estimation of fetal weight has become an indispensable tool in obstetric practice ,offering a non –invasive means to assess fetal growth and well-being. Ultrasound plays a crucial role in managing pregnancies complicated by diabetes. In particular, ultrasound can accurately estimate fetal weight, which helps in determining the optimal timing and mode for delivery. Association between estimated fetal weight and fetal outcomes is also crucial for optimizing prenatal care and delivery management.
