Despite what has been previously reported about the negative impact of maternal obesity on EFW accuracy, we could not demonstrate this relationship in our obese cohort (MAPE <10%). In addition, we could not illustrate a significant difference in ultrasound accuracy across various obesity classes. However, we found a significantly increased rate of delivery by repeated cesarean section in this obese cohort.
