Interpreting Your Baby's Weight
Your baby's weight gain during pregnancy follows a predictable pattern. Here's what the chart shows:
- Expected Range: The normal range for your baby's weight at this stage of pregnancy
- Your Baby's Weight: Your recorded weight for comparison
- Percentile: Where your baby's weight falls in the normal distribution
- Growth Rate: How quickly your baby is gaining weight compared to average
Formula Used:
The calculator uses standard growth charts based on average pregnancy weight patterns. Percentiles are calculated by comparing your baby's weight to the distribution of weights at each pregnancy week.
Example Calculation
At 20 weeks, a baby weighing 1.5 pounds would be in the 50th percentile, indicating average growth. A baby weighing 1.2 pounds would be in the 25th percentile, showing slower growth.
