Got my scan done yesterday and the report mentions EFW but i dont fully understand the number. Im around 32 weeks. Just want to know what counts as normal so i dont keep stressing till my next appointment.
I was reading about ultrasound scans and saw this term EFW. Is it estimated fetal weight? How do doctors track it, and does it change a lot from week to week? Still trying to understand these medical terms before I conceive.
When I saw the EFW on my scan report in the 32nd week, I felt so much love knowing my little one was growing. The doctor told me EFW is just an estimate and babies grow at their own pace. I felt so relieved when she said everything is absolutely perfect.
Hey, don't stress too much about the EFW number, okay? It literally just means "Estimated Fetal Weight" and changes every single week as your little one grows. As long as your gynac says the baby is healthy and active, you are doing great!
I completely panicked when my ultrasound report showed a slightly lower EFW than my friend's baby! But honestly, there is no single "normal" number, it entirely depends on which week of pregnancy you are in. My doctor reassured me that as long as the baby is growing on their own curve, we are fine. So don't compare yours with others!
Honestly, those EFW numbers on the scans had me doing crazy math late at night! My baby's EFW was predicted to be around 3 kg, but he came out a chubby 3.5 kg, so these estimates are definitely not 100% accurate. Just eat your ghee and let the baby grow in peace.
