Postpartumgestational diabetes (GDM)Macrosomiashoulder dystociaestimated fetal weight (EFW) Macrosomia is the term used to define an infant that measures more than 8 pounds 13 ounces or 4,000 grams (4 kg) at birth. Some definitions use 4,5000 grams (9lb 15oz) as cutoff. While macrosomia can be suspected prior to birth mostly from ultrasound measurements, it is only definitively determined after birth by weighing the baby. Ultrasound measurements to calculate the baby's weight are not always accurate.
