Fetal growth - Department of Health

Maternal obesity, abnormal fetal lie, large fibroids, hydramnios and fetal head engagement contribute to the limited predictive accuracy of SFH measurement. SFH is associated with significant intra– and inter–observer variation (Bailey et al 1989; Morse et al 2009) and serial measurement may improve predictive accuracy (Pearce & Campbell 1987). ................
