The study of predicting fetal weight by estimate the Height of fundus with the dilation of the cervix at first receive.

Abstract

     This study was a retrospective descriptive study. The objective was to study the relationship between estimating fetal weight by measuring the Height of the uterus with the dilation of the cervix at first receive and weight of the newborn. The sample group included 135 women pregnant and receive service Nathom Hospital, Nakhon Phanom Province. From 1 October 2021 to 30 September 2023, collect information from medical records using a data recording form. Data analysis; General information about the sample uses numbers, percentages, means and standard deviations. Correlations were analyzed using Pearson's correlation statistics.
     The results of the study, the sample consisted of 135 women, average age 24 years (=24, SD=6.245) average gestational age 38 weeks (=38, SD=.974), average uterine crown height (=30.67, SD=.3.15), cervix of dilation at receive 3 cms. (=3.94, SD=2.043), the fetal estimated weight was average 3,360 grams (=3,360, SD=.377.36) and the newborn birth weight was average 3,028 grams ( =3,028, SD=.346.53), the height of the uterus and the estimated fetal weight had a highly positive and significant correlated (r=.841, p<0.001). There is a moderate positive, significant correlated (r=.549, p<0.001). The gestational age and height of the uterus and the cervix of dilation at receive, there was no correlated. Applying the results of the study to included 5 women pregnant receiving delivery services during February-March 2024, by measuring the height of the uterus with the cervix of dilation at first receive, the results; height of the uterus had a positive directional correlated with the fetal weight from the high-level estimates with significance correlated (r=.997, p<0.001). height of the uterus was positively correlated of birth weight significantly correlated (r=.901, p<0.05).
