Background: The birth weight of a neonate depends mainly on optimal placental growth and function in utero. Measurement of the placental weight, the neonatal birth weight and the placenta-birth weight ratio is an indirect way of assessing this vital relationship. This underscores the significance of placental weight as a major determinant of neonatal weight. Objective: To determine the placental weight, birth weight and placental- birth weight ratio in a cross-section of subjects attending our antenatal clinic Methodology: This was a clinic-based cross-sectional study from July 31, 2015 to June 30, 2017. Four hundred and forty-four (444) subjects attending our antenatal clinic were recruited through systematic random sampling. The placental weights and birth weights were measured within one hour of delivery using a table –top beam weighing scale. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS version 20.0 and significance set at a P-value of |
