Factors Affecting Birth Weight

Several factors influence a baby's birth weight, including:

Maternal genetics and family history
Nutrition during pregnancy
Maternal health and medical conditions
Gestational age
Prenatal care and monitoring

Formula used:

Predicted birth weight (grams) = (Mother's height × 2.5) + (Mother's weight × 0.3) + (Pregnancy week × 10) + (Gender factor: +50 for male, -50 for female)

This formula combines maternal measurements with gestational age and gender to provide a reasonable estimate. The calculator uses average values based on medical research.

Interpreting the Results

The calculator provides a predicted birth weight range. Here's what the different ranges typically mean:

Weight Range (grams)	Interpretation
Below 2,500g	May indicate potential health concerns. Consult with a healthcare provider.
2,500g - 4,000g	Typical healthy weight range for full-term babies.
