Induction of labour for predicted macrosomia: the Big Baby trial
Difficulty in delivering the shoulders of a baby after the head has been delivered can be a serious complication during birth. Most babies that get into such trouble are larger than average. It has been suggested that if we can predict by ultrasound scan in the last weeks of pregnancy which babies are large and at increased risk, then we could deliver them a week or so earlier and reduce the chance of such complications. However, the available evidence is not clear, and can be interpreted in different ways. The aim of this study is to find out whether delivering large babies earlier is the right thing to do for baby and mother.
