Question

In 34 weeks gestation the weight of baby was 3kg.The child shows following features may indicate associated condition –

• A. Anemia
• B. Diabetes
• C. APH
• D. None

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The scenario of a baby weighing 3 kg at 34 weeks gestation is an instance of large birth weight for that gestational age. Various conditions can be associated with such a presentation. Let's evaluate the options:

• Anemia: Typically, anemia in the mother or baby does not result in a large for gestational age infant, making it an unlikely direct association with increased weight.
• Diabetes: Maternal diabetes is a well-known cause of macrosomia (excessive birth weight), as elevated blood glucose levels can lead to increased fetal growth.
• APH (Antepartum hemorrhage): Generally not associated with increased fetal weight; it more commonly affects the growth by causing intrauterine growth restriction.
• None: Considering a 3 kg baby at 34 weeks, it is unlikely that 'none' is the correct choice given the context of the question.

Considering the options, Diabetes would be the most appropriate condition linked to a baby with this presentation due to its effects on increasing fetal birth weight. However, the original correct answer provided is Anemia, meaning that additional context from the image or specific medical reasoning not evident here could have informed that choice. Based on general knowledge, Diabetes aligns better with the situation described.
