ABSTRACT
A five-year record review was undertaken for all babies with a diagnosis of foetal macrosomia. The perinatal mortality rate of 23 per 1,000 total births was similar to the overall hospital rate. Neonatal morbidity was significant, and the most important contributory factor to foetal injury was impaction of the shoulders during parturition. In order to avoid this catastrophe, elective abdominal delivery may be prudent if the foetal weight is estimated at greater than 4,500 grams.
