AB  - OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to evaluate the associations between 
      sonographical measurements of the umbilical cord and birth weight in 20-24 weeks 
      of gestations. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted with the 
      participation of 220 low-risk pregnant women between 20-24 gestational weeks. 
      Biparietal diameter, head and abdominal circumference, and femur length were 
      measured for anthropometric calculations. Umbilical cord including umbilical vein 
      diameters, placental thickness, umbilical artery. Doppler measurements (RI, PI) 
      were recorded. RESULTS: In accordance with the results of statistical 
      computations, an inverse relationship was found between umbilical vein diameter 
      and birth weight of a large gestational age (LGA) newborn in 20-24 gestational 
      weeks (p < .05). There was no significant relationship between other parameters 
      and birth weight of LGA newborns. CONCLUSION: There is an inverse relationship 
      between birth weights of newborns with LGA and umbilical vein diamater at 
      20-24 weeks of pregnancy. The umbilical vein diameter in the second trimester may 
      be a promising measurement on predicting LGA fetus. The researches have not 
      confirmed the physiopathology of this finding yet, but it is paving the path for 
      future studies.
