EFW Meaning?

As some of you might have read.. I had a less than impressive OB appointment on tuesday which has left me with my antenatal notes that I dont understand. It says "EFW 98% (with 98% underlined)"... After some googling I think the EFW means estimated fetal weight (as I had a growth scan last week) but whats with the 98%?

If you ring your ob and ask the receptionist or the nurse it might be more efficient and accurate than googling.

98 percentile for weight would be my guess

If say 98% would be the size percentile... The same as the kids have in their blue books. My growth scan showed H man was 100% meaning a HUGE bub.. But he was only 9pd 1... They like to scare us about bib bubs when going for a VBAC!

Snap Mel!

98th centile means that if there's 100 babies, yours would be the 98th biggest.
I had the opposite problem where DD was on the 3rd centile and still is.
Good luck!

Thanks girls. I ended up asking them and that was exactly what it meant!
