The term macrosomia is used to describe a newborn with an excessive birth weight, which literally means large body. The diagnosis of fetal macrosomia can be made only by measuring birth weight after delivery.ith about 1.5% of babies their birth weight was equal to, or was greater than 9 lb 15 oz (4500 g).
