Dear doctor mam / sir actually a few days ago I had a ultrasound in which I got my baby weight 2.4 kg according to the ultrasound machine. Doctor said that baby weight is low according 2 my 35th week of pregnancy. Now my 37th week is going on and baby can come anytime. M feared that my baby is LBW low birth weight as I researched over net that baby whose weight is lesser than 2.8 kg is low birth, and they are not like normal intelligent and common babies like other babies. Is it really true? M too much nervous, as I read that the ideal newborn baby weight should be 3.2 kg and in my case its not be possible. And my tummy also seems less heavy according 2 9th month. Doctor pls clear all my doubts. Its a request. M eagerly waiting to be a mother but concerned abt my future baby.

Hello, A LBW as per indian standards is less than 2.5kg and less than 3kg in USA. So if FL/AC RATIO of your baby is less than 25 then there is no IUGR and teh growth is normal.
