Summary. The accuracy of pregnant womens' impressions of the size of their babies in utero relative to their previous babies has been assessed in 140 parous women. The women who thought their babies would be bigger gave birth to babies weighing a mean of 0·30 kg more than their previous babies (P<0·01) and the women who thought their babies would be smaller were delivered of babies weighing a mean of 0·22 kg less than their previous babies (P<0·01).
