The collection of data was carry out in one way measurement while before the birth of baby. Generally, it can be concluded that TBJ rule can be used to predict the fetal birth weight. The result of the study revealed that there is the significant correlation between the prediction using TBJ and the Niswander's modified rules (p = 0.793, = 0.05). However, TBJ rule is easier to be reminded than the Niswander's rule. For further study, it is recommended to validate TBJ rule using better design, number of sample, and data collection.
