Up to 6 weeks after delivery
Number of children with birthweight above 4500 grams
Immediately at birth
Secondary Outcomes (3)

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Singleton pregnancy
- Plan for vaginal delivery. Patients with prior cesarean section are eligible if they are planning for a trial of labor after cesarean section.
- Gestational age 34 weeks 0 days to 37 weeks 0 days at time of enrollment
- Dating of pregnancy by last menstrual period consistent with an ultrasound, ultrasound \<21 weeks and 6 days of gestation, or known date of conception in the setting of in vitro fertilization
- No known major anomalies (anomalies requiring surgery antenatally or in the neonatal period, anomalies not compatible with life as determined by the physician)
- LGA defined as estimated fetal weight (EFW) \> 90th percentile by Hadlock formula but \<4500 grams
You may not qualify if:
- Pre-gestational diabetes or gestational diabetes on medication (oral or insulin, excluding metformin)
- Planned cesarean delivery
- Polyhydramnios
- Known major fetal anomalies
- Multiple gestation or selective reduction of multiple gestation after 14 weeks
- Previous stillbirth at term
- Indications for delivery at \<39 weeks. Common examples include:
- Placenta previa
- Placenta accreta
- Vasa previa
- History of classical cesarean section or myomectomy
- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
- Oligohydramnios (low amniotic fluid, defined as maximum vertical pocket \<2.0cm)
- High-risk pregnancy as determined by the physician. Common examples include:
- Pre-gestational diabetes or gestational diabetes on medication
- +9 more criteria
