I think that tto said it the best. I don`t know what my babies were at 20 weeks pregnant, but they are and have been in the 90th percentile since birth. They were both 9 lbs. Their dr explained that it meant that only 10% of children their age are bigger and about 89% are smaller.

I`m a teacher and we use percentiles constantly. A percentile means- how your child is compared to 99 other peers of the same age, etc. So average is 25- 75th percentile. 52nd is smack in the middle. You`ll hear more percentiles as your child grows and in school too. Does this make sense?

at 22 weeks my lil one weighed 15 oz. It sounds like ur lil one is jus like a couple oz off of bn jus right. Boys are usually bigger than girls!

i dont know how much my baby weighed then, but at 19 weeks she was 11oz.

You`re lucky! My son was always in the 90 something percentile! He was always so big in comparison...

50th percentile would be EXACTLY AVERAGE. You`re baby is measuring a little bigger than average but nothing to even give a second thought.
