Background: Survival and growth of foetus is essentially dependent on formation, full development and function of the placenta. It is mirror which reflects the intrauterine status of the foetus. The aim of this study is to determine the well being of the baby in relation with the weight of placenta, the present study is to correlate the weight of the placenta with the weight of foetus. Reduction in placental weight and size has been associated with reduced foetal growth and also risk of foetal growth restriction.
