Macrosomia
Macrosomia refers to a condition where a newborn's birth weight is significantly higher than average, generally above 4,000 grams (8 pounds, 13 ounces). It can lead to complications during delivery and may increase the risk of health issues for both the mother and infant. Managing macrosomia requires careful prenatal monitoring.
