The growth rate and weight
of each baby (fetus) during the gestation period may be different as well as
the weight at birth is different. The values in the table below show only
approximate average values, whether your baby's weight is higher or lower than
the values in this table does not necessarily indicate a developmental
problem. You can learn from your doctor how your baby is developing according
to the gestational week.
The baby, whose mother and
father are small, may also be small, like his parents. Not every small measured
baby has a developmental delay. Being small according to the week of the baby
may be due to developmental delay, or it may be a normal condition completely
dependent on the natural structure of the baby. At birth, it is generally
considered normal for the baby to be around 2500-4000 grams. Babies that are
more than 4500 grams when their birth time approaches are called large babies.
With the ultrasound, the
height of the baby cannot be measured after the first months because the baby
does not lie flat in the womb, standing straight, but in a round shape. In
order to understand whether the development of the baby in the womb is normal
or not, weight monitoring should be done, and height monitoring is not
required. There is no concept of following the height of the baby during
pregnancy.
The baby's weight can be
estimated based on head and leg measurements made with an ultrasound device.
The ultrasound device cannot accurately measure the baby's weight by weighing,
estimates it.
