| The rate of overly large babies, a condition called macrosomia, has been steadily increasing, Dr. Riley said. |
| A failure to achieve this control may result in either fetal abnormalities or babies with macrosomia and macrosomia and macrosomia therefore a greater risk of death. |
| Nevertheless, the high incidence of macrosomia and other complications often results in cesarean or other operative delivery. |
| Fetal risks of diabetes in pregnancy include congenital abnormalities, macrosomia, intrauterine death, respiratory distress syndrome and neonatal hypoglycaemia. |
| For the fetus, it leads to a decrease in macrosomia and may decrease the risk of glucose intolerance associated with increased birth weight. |
| Because of macrosomia, he had been delivered via planned caesarean section at an outside hospital. |
