Small baby?

Question

I'm 22 weeks pregnant, and baby girl is measuring a little over 10 inches (10.1). And weighs 13 ounces... Is this a normal birth weight? I heard they are usually 1 pound - 1 pound 2 ounces big at this point. But she is still a few ounces behind. Would you say she will be a small baby? Is her weight and height normal?

Answer

My doc said babies grow at different rates and have different growth spurts, and as long as they measure between the 10&90th % they aren't too concerned with size.

Answer

They told me either I'm a week later than they thought or my baby will be small but healthy small. Since my boyfriend and I both were little babies and are still little my doctor thinks my baby is just little and I'm not a week behind. But if they said she's healthy I wouldn't worry.

Answer

They would tell you if baby was abnormally small. I was induced at 38wks because my girl was measuring only 35wks.

Answer

I don't know the length but at about 19 and 2 my little boy was about 10 ounces so I think you're ok?
