Aim: The goal of the current study was to determine the average placenta thickness and foetus weight for each group of gestational age, as well as the relationship between placenta thickness and foetus weight for pregnant Indian women of various gestational ages. Methods: 202 pregnant women were included as study subjects in the current study utilising a convenient sample technique. The antenatal women underwent an ultrasound examination to measure placental thickness, gestational age, and fetus weight. The correlation between the gestational age in weeks, placental thickness in cm, and foetal weight in gram was determined using the Pearson's Correlation (r value). Statistical significance was defined as a P value of 0.05 or lower. Results: The mean placental thickness increased significantly from first follow up (1.61±0.26 cms) to second follow up (2.62±0.07 cms) and third follow up visit (3.35±0.26 cms). The mean placental thickness increased significantly from first follow up (1.61±0.26 cms) to second follow up (2.62±0.07 cms) and third follow up visit (3.350±0.26 cms). The estimated gestational age (11–20 weeks) had a 79.9% variability (R2) based on placental thickness (mm)
