How big is a normal fetus

Patient's question:

I am very scared when this happens. I often have lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here for consultation. Please ask, how big is the fetus normally?

Doctor's answer:

Now the fetus weighs about 3000 grams and is about 51 centimeters long. The differences between the fetuses are relatively large; some are a bit fatter, while others are a bit thinner, but generally, as long as the fetus weighs more than 2500 grams, it is considered normal. Typically, the estimated fetal weight from ultrasound is more accurate than judging it solely based on the size of the mother's abdomen. Sometimes the doctor's judgment can differ significantly from the actual weight of the fetus, but as long as the fetus is developing normally, there is no need to worry too much about its weight.
