TLDR
Standard charts are given for assessing the normality of birthweight for length of gestation from 32 to 42 weeks; first-born and later-born infants are shown separately, and allowance is made for maternal height and mid-pregnancy weight.Abstract:

Weight Gain During Pregnancy: Reexamining the Guidelines
TL;DR: The IOM's Food and Nutrition Board and the Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education Board on Children, Youth, and Families as mentioned in this paper reviewed and updated the IOM (1990) recommendations for weight gain during pregnancy and recommend ways to encourage their adoption through consumer education, strategies to assist practitioners, and public health strategies.

Fetal umbilical artery flow velocity waveforms and placental resistance: pathological correlation.
TL;DR: Antenatal studies of umbilical artery flow velocity waveforms with Doppler ultrasound identify a specific microvascular lesion in the placenta characterized by obliteration of small muscular arteries in the tertiary stem villi.

TL;DR: Variation in fetal growth could be used in the assessment of the role of genes which modify either insulin secretion or insulin action in childhood and adulthood.

Effect of Human Growth Hormone Treatment for 1 to 7 Years on Growth of 100 Children, with Growth Hormone Deficiency, Low Birthweight, Inherited Smallness, Turner's Syndrome, and Other Complaints
TL;DR: There was a highly significant relation between blood GH peak level and pretreatment height velocity in the HS patients, and partial HS patients are accelerated by HGH and should be treated; but their average acceleration is below that of total HS patients.

Contribution of preterm delivery to perinatal mortality.
TL;DR: A detailed retrospective analysis was made of the records of 486 preterm infants, who accounted for 5-1% of all births during 1973 and 1974, and found neonatal mortality rates were closely linked both to gestational age and birth weight and to the reason for preterm birth.

Intrauterine growth as estimated from liveborn birth-weight data at 24 to 42 weeks of gestation.
TL;DR: The median weights of Colorado babies were found to be lower at 40 weeks of gestation than the national median, and mean weights at 40 and 42 weeks were lower than those given by other authors.

The assessment of fetal growth.
TL;DR: This report is based on an analysis of 52,004 legitimate, single births which took place in the City of Aberdeen during the years 1948--64, and is of exceptional value for the following reasons.
