As the months increase, the weight of the fetus will gradually increase. Some pregnant women ask doctors to estimate the weight of the fetus during prenatal check ups to see if the fetus is developing normally. So, is a fetal weight of 2370g normal? Now the editor will explain to pregnant women.
Whether the fetal weight of 2370g is normal or not is determined by the month of the fetus. If the fetus is already 37 weeks old, then a fetal weight of 2370g is considered normal because the fetal weight will continue to increase, and it will probably grow to around six or seven pounds by birth. If the fetus is already 40 weeks old and has reached the due date, a weight of 2370g is abnormal, indicating that the fetus is somewhat thin and small. Therefore, the average weight of the fetus at birth is 3000 grams, and it should not be less than 2500 grams, otherwise the fetus will be relatively thin and have an abnormal weight. So whether the fetal weight of 2370g is normal depends on the age of the fetus.
If the weight of the fetus at birth is only 2370g, it may be caused by malnutrition, or it may be due to the number of pregnancies and fetuses in the pregnant woman. When there are multiple births, the weight of the fetus is generally lighter than that of a singleton. Therefore, if it is a multiple pregnancy, a fetal weight of 2370g is generally normal. If it is a singleton, most of them are abnormal, which may be caused by insufficient nutrient intake. If it is caused by malnutrition, it is necessary to quickly supplement nutrients and take more careful care of the baby.
