hi ladies,

i found this on the net which will give u the birth weight of ur baby without scan...but don know how far twil be correct...anyways jus like the old wives tale, u can give a try on this too....



For those of you who have a thing for math, here's the equation:


Birth weight (g) = gestational age (days) x (9.38 + 0.264 x fetal sex + 0.000233 x maternal height [cm] x maternal weight at 26.0 weeks [kg] + 4.62 x 3rd-trimester maternal weight gain rate [kg/d]] x [number of previous births + 1]).

Pointers for performing the calculations:

Perform all multiplications before the additions.
Gestational age is the stage of your pregnancy in days, or days since the onset of your last normal menstrual period plus 14.
For fetal sex, use 1 for a boy, -1 for a girl, or 0 if sex is unknown.
For mother's height, inches multiplied by 2.54 gives you centimeters.
For the mother's weight, pounds divided by 2.2 gives you kilograms.
For the baby's birth weight, take the number from your calculation and divide by 453 to get your baby's estimated weight in pounds.
If you don't have a thing for math, you might want to show this to your obstetrician.
