Is This a Normal Weight Posted: 11-19-06 15:57pm
I just recently had an ultrasound at 19
weeks and was told my little boy weighed
.6lbs, I was just wondering if anyone knew
if this was a normal weight for a baby at
that stage. I couldnt ask the girl doing
my ultrasound becuase she wouldnt talk at
all. And when I told my mom the weight
she looked shocked. Ive looked online for
the normal weight at that stage and its
all in ounces and I dont know how to
convert pounds to ounces.

Hmmm, I think somebody has the weights
mixed up, my 2nd child was born at 38
weeks and was 6lb 7oz at birth! There is
no way your baby can be that big
already..The average size for a newborn is
7lb 6oz.
There are 16oz to a lb!

Also are you sure she didn't say that she
thinks he will weigh about 6lbs when he's
out because 6 lbs at 19 weeks would mean
that you are having a 13-15lb baby at full
term

I had the same concern when I was
pregnant. Below is a link that gives the
.A.V.E.R.A.G.E. Fetal weight for
gestational age.
