The sample in this study using purposive sampling totally 96 respondents. Data analysis was performed by univariate and bivariate using paired t-test, independent t-test. Results: There is no difference in fetal weight estimation between Johnson Toshach formula and Dare formula with the birth weight (ρ value> 0.1).
