Thirty one term large for gestational age (LGA) infants of
non-diabetic mothers were compared with 30 appropriate for gestational age controls. Median absolute nucleated red blood cell counts, lymphocyte counts, and packed cell volumes were significantly higher in
the LGA infants than the controls. It is possible that LGA babies of
non-diabetic mothers are exposed to relative intrauterine hypoxia.
