Summary

This study looks at whether the ratio of placental thickness to fetal weight can predict serious pregnancy complications like preterm birth, low birth weight, or fetal distress. Researchers will follow 70 pregnant women between 28 and 38 weeks. If the ratio proves reliable, it could become a low-cost screening tool for high-risk pregnancies.
