Abstract
Materials and methods The weight of fetus, placenta and umbilical cord were measured in 30 (thirty) normal pregnant women and in 17 (seventeen) controlled gestational diabetic pregnant women met in HUSM (University Hospital of Santa Maria). The measurements of weight of fetus were made immediately after the delivery and the macroscopy exam of placenta and umbilical cord were made 24 (twenty four) h after the delivery using a precision scale. A statistical analysis was made using SPSS 17 with Mann Whitney Test considering significant p values <0.05.
Highlights
The weight of fetus, placenta and umbilical cord are important parameters that can reflect the environment where the fetus will grow
Do differences exist in the weight of fetus, placenta and umbilical cord in normal pregnant women and in well controlled gestational diabetic pregnant women?
The statistical analysis showed no significant difference between the values obtained of normal pregnant women (NG) and gestational diabetic pregnant women (GDP)
Summary
The weight of fetus, placenta and umbilical cord are important parameters that can reflect the environment where the fetus will grow. Do differences exist in the weight of fetus, placenta and umbilical cord in normal pregnant women and in well controlled gestational diabetic pregnant women?
