Baby Weight
Posted: 11-05-04 23:35pm

I askedmy dad how they guessed the weight of a baby..

He said they take for measurements

1.Circumfrence of the head
2. Diameter of the head
3. Abdomen circumfrence
4. Measure of femer

and the computer gives them a weight. There usually accurate by less then a lb

Gheeze.

Well if this baby gets my height, oh I dont know. 5"5 and 14, that's not very rare for a filipino. The average height for a girl is like 5"2, seriously.
