1. Estimate fetal weight based on parameters such as fetal biparietal diameter, abdominal circumference, and femur length. This method typically uses specific formulas or online calculators to provide a relatively accurate prediction of fetal weight. 2. Estimate fetal weight by measuring the pregnant woman's uterine height and abdominal circumference. This method is simple and easy to perform, but may involve some degree of error. Generally, multiplying uterine height by abdominal circumference and then adding or subtracting 200 grams gives an estimated value for fetal weight.
