Fetal growth chart development	Main data items:	Main data items:
	Gestational age (GA) (days not in rounded weeks) at birth based on: last menstrual period (LMP) and ultrasound (preferable), new born gender, birth weight (g), pregnancy outcome (survival status of new born), maternal weight (kg, recorded at booking/in early pregnancy), maternal height (cm), parity (recorded at booking and not including current pregnancy), ethnicity, and smoking.	Gestational age (GA) (days not in rounded weeks) at birth based on ultrasound (preferable), ethnicity, and smoking.
	Optional data items:	Optional data items:
	Last menstrual period (LMP), estimated date of delivery (EDD), delivery date, maternal age (years), country of birth, pre-existing diabetes, gestational diabetes, pre-existing hypertension, pregnancy-induced hypertension, and other recorded pathological factors (e.g. social deprivation, asthma, anaemia, substance misuse, history of small for gestational age (SGA), stillbirth (SB), and miscarriage or preterm birth).	Country of birth, pre-existing diabetes, gestational diabetes, pre-existing hypertension, pregnancy-induced hypertension, and other recorded pathological factors (e.g. social deprivation, asthma, anaemia, substance misuse, history of small for gestational age (SGA), stillbirth (SB), and miscarriage or preterm birth).
