During pregnancy, you can estimate the weight of the fetus by measuring the biparietal diameter of the fetus. There is a formula, the weight of the fetus is about 900× the biparietal diameter value, and then-5200, this is only an estimate, can not be sure that the fetus is born this weight, there is a certain probability of error, this is also a normal phenomenon. Fetal weight is influenced by many factors, such as maternal nutrition, and possibly placental function.
