The average weight for a 30 week baby is just under 3lb so your baby is a bit smaller than 'average'. But don't forget that growth scans are quite inaccurate and can be wrong by up to 15% either. As long as your baby is still growing - however much, then that is the main thing. My son was born at 29 weeks weighing 1lb 8oz and he did very well. Hang onin there.

and baby is now 2lb 2oz , so she is still growing but im quite disapointed cos i thought she wud av put on more weight than that, am really scared that she will be born early and tiny,,
do u prem ladies think 2lb 2oz is tiny at 30 weeks ??



hi, just like to add i had a scan the morning my lo was born and he was 6ozs heavier than they said. Keep positive is the best piece of advice i can give, i believe if ur stressed the baby feels it. Hang on in there x
