Excessive Birth Weight and Maternal Glucose Tolerance A 19‐year Review

Summary: The incidence of birth‐weight of 4,540 g (10 lb) or more rose from 0.87% in the years 1971 to 1977 to 1.16% in the 12 years from 1978 to 1989 with a concomitant increase in hyperglycaemia in our antenatal population. The relationship between excessive birth‐weight and maternal glucose tolerance was investigated in the light of these observations.
