baby's weight at 28 weeks
Was told at recent gynae check that baby's around 1.3kg... just curious if it's ok? And wondering if I should watch my diet a bit more towards this last lap! Cause planning for natural w/o epi ? now a bit worried if baby's gonna be too big.. thanks for sharing in advance!
I guess growth may not always be linear and it depends different factors. You could ask your gynae at the next visit :) Mine is estimated to be almost 1.4kg at 30 weeks scan and gyane said it's a good weight for gestational age. I found this research article (tad wordy and very clinical if you're not used to it but you can go straight to the charts). Birth weight by gestational age is on page 4 of 9. Most growth charts are based on western data but this is based on Singapore-born babies :) This was published in 2014, not too long ago. http://www.annals.edu.sg/pdf/43VolNo6Jun2014/MemberOnly/V43N6p296.pdf On a separate note, my friend did recommend EPI-NO for birthing prep. Personally for her, she found it helpful. It helped her to avoid an episiotomy during natural birth though her baby was more than 3.5kg at birth and she's very slim/petite. I'm not affiliated or anything but I'm also curious to try out. *edit: you do need to discuss the use of epi no with your gynae* https://www.starnbergmed.com.sg/clinical-trials
Read moreShould be okay! If gynae didnt say anything shd be alright. Mine was 1.2kg at 28weeks, and came out natural birth 2.95kg at 40weeks
should be normal, the estimate given to me at 29 weeks was also 1.3kg. The fetal weight only estimation based on size,
If gynae didn’t say anything then it’s okay. Mine was 1.8/1.7 at 30wks. gynae said around normal range.
It should be fine.. ours was 1200g at 28 weeks. Then suddenly 1900g at 32 weeks.
1.3 sounds like a good weight! But it also depends on your body frame
