KIMS "My baby weighs 700 grams in the fifth month. Is that normal?"

A baby's weight during the fifth month of pregnancy is usually around 350–400 grams. If the estimated weight is significantly higher, it may require further evaluation.

One possible reason is gestational diabetes, which can lead to excessive fetal growth. Expectant mothers should undergo blood glucose and HbA1c testing and follow their doctor's recommendations regarding treatment and monitoring.

Regular antenatal check-ups are essential, as excessive fetal weight gain can increase the risk of delivery complications and may also affect the baby's blood sugar levels after birth.

Early detection, proper monitoring, and timely intervention can help ensure the health and safety of both mother and baby.
