Abstract
The correlation between placental thickness, gestational age and fetal weight across different stages of pregnancy is of interest. Hence, 187 women (11-40 weeks gestation) at Maa Vindhyavasini Autonomous State Medical College and SMMH Medical College in India participated in this study. Results showed that mean placental thickness increased with gestational age (2.083 cm at 11-20 weeks, 2.623 cm at 20-30 weeks and 3.29 cm at 30-40 weeks), while fetal weight also increased (172.05g, 746.67g and 2584.49g, respectively). A strong positive correlation was found between gestational age and both fetal weight and placental thickness, except during early pregnancy (11-21 weeks), with statistical significance at the 5% level. Thus, the correlation between placental thickness, fetal weight and gestational age in 187 pregnant women, showing strong positive correlations, especially in later stages of pregnancy is reported.
