I found the neatest formula on the web and have put it into an Excel spreadsheet. It looks at a number of factors, including weight gain in the third trimester. I will happily enter your data and post the results, just post the following information: (You need to be past 26 weeks for this to work!)
1. Getational age (how old is your baby in days) or the date of your LMP :
2. Sex of the baby (if you know):
3. Your height (feet and inches):
4. Your weight at 26 weeks:
5. Third trimester weight gain
a. number of pounds gained :
b. number of days that occured in :
(So from week 27 on, how much have you gained in how many weeks - so if you are 28 weeks, and gained 5 lbs, that would be 5 lbs in 7 days)
6. Number of previous births:
__________________________________________________ ______________
I'm not there yet but I have been playing with the formula, if I keep gaining at my current pace my data would look like this on May 15th:
1. Gestational age: 225 days
2. Height: 5 foot 4 inches
3. Sex of baby: girl
4. Weight at 26 weeks: 163
5. 4 lbs in 28 days
6 previous births: 0
And the formula spits out that with that data my baby would be 6.065 lbs at birth!
I know it is a little early to do this, but since you need to know your weight from 26 weeks on for it to work, I thought I should post this now!
