Gestation vs Weight

[*Beema*]

N was born at 33 weeks 4 days @ 2350grams and was on the 75th%ile which is what we were told, we also got questions asking if she was further along, but when you are charting you know your dates and all her early scans said the same, I just grew a good sized bubba

[*Beema*]

I found this information which I really interesting, it shows the average weight for gestation, I found the same chart or very similar versions in a few different locations, no wonder they were asking if she was a couple of weeks further along as N's weight was between the average for a 34/35 weeker as was her length

Gestational age... Length (cm)........ Mass (g)

22 weeks........... 27.8cm ...........430grams
23 weeks........... 28.9cm ...........501grams
24 weeks........... 30cm ...........600grams
25 weeks........... 34.6cm ...........660grams
26 weeks........... 35.6cm ...........760grams
27 weeks........... 36.6cm ...........875grams
28 weeks........... 37.6cm ...........1005grams
29 weeks........... 38.6cm ...........1153grams
30 weeks........... 39.9cm ...........1319grams
31 weeks........... 41.1cm ...........1502grams
32 weeks........... 42.4cm ...........1702grams
33 weeks........... 43.7cm ...........1918grams
34 weeks........... 45cm ...........2146grams
35 weeks........... 46.2cm ...........2383grams
36 weeks........... 47.4cm ...........2622grams
37 weeks........... 48.6cm ...........2859grams
38 weeks........... 49.8cm ...........3083grams
39 weeks........... 50.7cm ...........3288grams
40 weeks........... 51.2cm ...........3462grams

It's great to see that chart, thanks Beema!

Sam was 36 weeks exact - 2.48kg and 48cm

And they were telling me he was going to be huge - yet he's below the average for his gestation.

He's certainly made up for it now - over 12kg at 14 months old.

It's really interesting to see the weight chart like that! Thanks Beema

Brendan and Tristan were weighed two weeks ago...
Brendan 12kg (3yrs) and Tristan 6.5kg (8 months).

Yeah I think it really helps understand what is the average size for each gestation, hopefully this one is a fatty boomba too

Angus was 800grams at 25+1 weeks
According to the chart he was a bit of a fatty

Isabelle was born at exactly 36 weeks and weighed 3550gms and was 49cms long....so a bit of a chubber by that chart!! pmsl
She's 6 months old today and weighs 6.3kgs

Meara was 36 weeks and weighed at 3.28kg and was 51cm long. So I had a big bubba as well. My DS2 was born at 38 weeks at 4.4kgs and 57cm long so well off the charts

Meara is now 2 years 4 months and weighs 15.5kgs and DS2 is nearly 10 and weighs 49kgs so he is still a big boy but he is tall with it.
