Methods and spectra for monitoring fetal growth and predicting birth weight of an infant prior to birth are provided wherein one or more selected biological markers are measured in a sample of amniotic fluid obtained from a pregnant woman. Levels of the selected biochemical markers and/or spectra correlate with one or more medical conditions, such as fetal growth and birth weight of the infant, and gestational diabetes. A measurement probe for in situ measurement can be used safely and repeatedly. Monitoring and/or treatment of maternal and fetal health is also provided.

Ces méthodes et spectres permettent de surveiller la croissance foetale et de prédire le poids à la naissance d'un enfant avant sa naissance. Un ou plusieurs marqueurs biologiques sélectionnés sont mesurés dans un échantillon de liquide amniotique extrait d'une femme enceinte. Les niveaux des marqueurs biochimiques et/ou spectres sélectionnés sont mis en corrélation avec un ou plusieurs états médicaux, tels que la croissance foetale et le poids à la naissance de l'enfant, ainsi que le diabète gestationnel. On peut utiliser à plusieurs reprises et d'une manière sûre une sonde de mesure in situ. L'invention permet également de surveiller et/ou de traiter la santé de la mère et du foetus.
