Understanding Fetal Weight Percentiles

What are Fetal Weight Percentiles?

Fetal weight percentiles compare your baby's estimated weight to other babies at the same gestational age. A percentile indicates what percentage of babies weigh less than your baby at that specific week of pregnancy.

Clinical Significance

  • SGA (<10th percentile): May indicate intrauterine growth restriction
  • Normal (10-90th percentile): Expected growth for gestational age
  • LGA (>90th percentile): May indicate macrosomia or diabetes

Ultrasound Measurements

Abdominal Circumference (AC)

Measured at the level of the liver and stomach

Head Circumference (HC)

Measured around the widest part of the head

Biparietal Diameter (BPD)

Distance between the sides of the head

Femur Length (FL)

Length of the thigh bone

Hadlock Formula

log₁₀(EFW) = 1.3596 - (0.00386 × AC × FL) + (0.0064 × HC) + (0.00061 × BPD × AC) + (0.0424 × AC) + (0.174 × FL)

Where EFW is Estimated Fetal Weight in grams, and all measurements are in centimeters. This formula is widely used in obstetric practice for fetal weight estimation.
