Aim: To examine the gestational age-specific distribution of twin birth weight discordance.
Methods: We analyzed all liveborn twin sets between 28 and 40 weeks' gestation from the United States 1995–1998 Multiple Matched Birth Data Set compiled by the National Center for Health Statistics...

Objectives: To determine fetal growth in low risk pregnancies at the beginning of the third trimester and to assess the relative importance of fetal gender and maternal parity.
Setting: Dutch primary care midwifery practice.
Study design: Retrospective cohort study on 3641 singleton pregnancies seen at a primary care midwifery center in the Netherlands...

Background: Health care providers and popular press articles frequently advise women that nausea and vomiting of early pregnancy (NVP) portends a favorable fetal outcome.
Aim: To investigate the claim that NVP protects against adverse fetal outcomes and improves placental and fetal growth.
Methods: Data were collected on a prospective cohort of 849 Ecuadorian prenatal patients beginning in early gestation until postpartum...

Objective: To explore the ability of growth velocity and customized standards of fetal weight to predict adverse outcomes in small fetuses delivered at term.
Methods: We evaluated a cohort of 86 consecutive singletons suspected to be small for gestational age during the third trimester (estimated fetal weight <10th centile), who had normal umbilical artery Doppler and ultimately delivered at term...
