Foetal Growth Chart Week by Week – Length & Weight
The foetus grows right from the earliest days of pregnancy. Ultrasound scans are done at regular intervals during pregnancy and help determine the approximate weight and length of the baby. The growth of the foetus in the womb leads to the increase in the size of the bump too.
Foetal Weight Chart
The table below shows the average increase in the weight of the foetus on a week by week basis. The numbers are only averages, and the actual weight and length of the foetus may vary significantly. These are general guidelines and your baby’s weight may not be an exact match to what you see in the table. However, this should not be a cause for worry.

Foetal Length Chart
Along with the weight, the doctor keeps a record of the foetal length as well. This chart is a rough guide of the foetal length on a week by week basis. The length of the foetus is measured from the crown till the bottom, because of the position he’ll be in, i.e., legs curled up against the torso, which makes it difficult to measure his length from head to toe. From the 20th week onwards, the length of the foetus will be calculated from the crown to the heel.

Ultrasonic Foetal Measurement Standards
The gestational age chart is used to determine the biometric measurements and determine if the foetal growth is normal. If the mother-to-be is able to provide the date of the last menses before conception, it gives a much better estimate of EDD, which is the estimated date of confinement (also known as Expected Date of Delivery). The EDD can be estimated to plus or minus 5 days.
The method of using ultrasound scans to estimate the gestational age is done under the assumption that the baby is growing normally and as per the foetus weight chart. If any condition alters the growth of the foetus, it will also make the estimate less reliable. The ultrasound method lets one measure the number of foetal and embryonic structures, but only a few of them are reliable and easy to carry out repeatedly. The ultrasound foetal measurements are done using various foetal graphs and calculators.
Estimated Foetal Weight Calculator
The foetal weight calculator lets you calculate the percentile of the foetal weight as well as the estimated foetal weight at the time of delivery. The inputs that you need to enter are the gestational age, biparietal diameter, humerus, head circumference, femur length, and the abdominal circumference. The calculator then calculates the percentile for each factor, as well as the estimated foetal weight at the time of delivery.
Suppose the foetus is in the 60th percentile for weight, at 30 weeks. This means that 60% of foetuses weigh the same or less than the baby at 30 weeks. This means that 40% of foetuses weigh more than the baby at 30 weeks.
It is a common practice to opt for an ultrasound scan to estimate the weight of the foetus towards the end of pregnancy. The accuracy rate of this method is very low and the calculated weight may lead to changes in the way the mother and the physician may perceive the delivery. Therefore, the method has been questioned in medical circles, and is not recommended until there is a medical condition.
The foetal weight calculator calculates the foetal weight as well as the estimated foetal weight at the time of delivery as per ultrasound data using many formulas like Warsof, Shepard, Hadlock, Campbell, and so on.
The calculation is carried out using the four basic parameters which are: head circumference (HC), biparietal diameter (BPD), abdominal circumference (AC) and femur length (FL).
The calculated foetal weights may be 16% plus or minus the average weight. The actual weight can be either higher or lower than 16%.
Around 68% of babies will be within the range of 1 standard deviation (SD), and 2 SD should encompass around 95% of the actual weight. However, about 5% of the babies will be either higher or lower than 2.5%, thus making this an inaccurate calculator of foetal weight.
Foetal Growth Percentile Calculator
The growth percentile calculator calculates how big or small the baby is as compared to the average value. If the baby is in the 40th percentile for growth, this means that the baby is larger than 40% of babies who are of the same age, and smaller than 60% of babies of the same age. 50 is the average value and a value below 50 means that the baby’s growth is below the average value. A value above 50 means that the baby has an above-average growth rate.
A foetus that measures between the 10th and the 90th percentile is considered normal.
The different terms used in tracking or calculating the growth of the foetus in the womb are briefed upon below for better understanding:
Crown-Rump Length
The embryonic crown-rump length is a parameter that dates the embryo and estimates the foetus’ average length. It can be measured to an accuracy of plus or minus 3 to 5 days. The limbs and the yolk sac are excluded from this calculation. The crown-rump length can also be used to calculate the gestational age, wherein doctors can estimate your due date.
Biparietal Diameter and Head Circumference
The BPD or the Biparietal Diameter is the transverse width of the head at the widest part. The measurement is done from one leading edge to the other leading edge of the bone on the opposite side, as it is the most distinct. The scope for error in this measurement is not a lot as the oval shape of the head does not leave a lot of room for mistakes. This makes it easy to use the method over and over again. The size of the head is determined by the growth of the brain and does not take into account other aspects of the brain’s development.
Femur and Humerus Length
The femur length method is also reliable and can be repeated. Skeletal dysplasias tends to affect it but this condition is very rare. The measurement confirms the head’s measurement and the best value can be obtained after 14 weeks. To estimate the gestational age, at least 2 or sometimes even 4-5 measurements may be required.
Estimated Foetal Weight
There are different types of computer software and charts that help the doctor calculate the foetal weight, along with measurements such as the abdominal circumference, biparietal diameter, the femur length and so on.
Abdominal Circumference
This is a measurement taken in the second half of the pregnancy and is used to assess foetal growth. It is an approximate method and it is used to see if the growth proportions of the foetus are normal. It is measured at the level of the liver and the stomach along with the left portal vein at the umbilical region.
Gestational Sac
This is measured in early pregnancy and is measured in three dimensions. The ‘Mean Sac Diameter’ is the average that is used to estimate the gestational age. The method can be applied between the 5th and the 8th week of pregnancy and has an accuracy of plus or minus 3 days.
The gestational sac surrounds the embryo and can be seen in the early ultrasound scans. The sac encloses the embryo as well as the amniotic fluid. It allows the doctor to measure the number of weeks of pregnancy (with a margin of plus or minus 5 days).
Yolk Sac
This is a membranous sac and is attached to the embryo. The sac can be spotted between the embryo and the gestational sac. It offers nourishment to the embryo before the circulatory system and the placenta develops to give the foetus the required nourishment.
Foetal Pole
This is a mass of cells and can be seen before the embryo becomes visible. The rate of growth is approximately 1 mm a day and starts at the 6th week of the gestational age. It is used to date an early pregnancy and also, to estimate the gestational week.
The gestational age is calculated in most cases by using BPD, femur length, head circumference, and abdominal circumference. It may not be very important to see how they are combined. The modern ultrasound machines have a computer biometric analysis program that calculates the estimated due date.
The doctor may conduct a multiparameter assessment of the gestational age after the first trimester of pregnancy. The basic ones are the biparietal diameter and the femur length. The other parameters such as occipitofrontal diameter, head circumference or humerus length are also considered.
The early measurement to calculate gestational age is usually taken as a definite assessment. There is a reduced accuracy after 20 weeks. The doctor would evaluate further if the ultrasound foetal measurement standard parameters are not in agreement at any time. This is done to average all the values to get an estimated gestational age.
Please note that these are the international standards of weight and length using guidelines from the UK. The average weight and length of an Indian baby may differ from the international standards.
The foetal growth chart is an important indicator of the progress of the pregnancy and the growth of the baby. Any anomaly detected during the regular measurements is addressed by the doctor to see if intervention is necessary. It is advisable to go for all the mandatory checkups and scans during pregnancy to ensure that the charts are tracked correctly. Read more

Teaching Preschoolers All About Plurals
When you give your child a favourite food, say chocolate chip cookies, doesn't he ask you, “Could you please give me one more mommy?” There's no better time than now to teach your kid about plurals, because preschoolers are really into counting things at this stage. So you see, it's really not all that hard to teach him plurals. All you need is a little creativity. Check out these activities to teach your little moppet all about plurals.
1. Use flashcards
What does your child like? Fruits? Animals? As per his preferences, pick a type of flashcard. Then, as your child identifies the picture on the flashcard, teach him the plural form. For instance, if the flashcard has an apple on it, tell him that the plural is apples. Doing this repeatedly will help him understand about the concept of singular and plural without you having to get too technical about it.
2. Sing it out
Is your little angel a music lover? Then this is by far the best way to get him to learn all about plurals. Play any of his favourite rhymes, say “twinkle twinkle little star”, and sing it in plural form. Showing him the stars in the sky while singing this while help him understand and remember better.
3. Choose appropriate books
Certain picture books like Green Eggs and Ham are full of plural nouns and accompanied by images too. Read aloud to your child and explain the concept of singular and plural form by pointing at the images as and when they come. Sound excited while teaching this so that your child doesn't get bored or stops listening. After all, moods are contagious, aren't they?
4. Use a reward system
For days when your child is not interested in learning (for whatever reason), give him something to look forward to if he sits patiently and listens well. For example, any preschooler will find to resist a slice of his favourite cake at the end of a session. However, make sure you use this sparingly, or your child will associate learning with bribery.
5. Rinse and repeat
Teach your child on a regular basis if you want him to pick up and retain the concept and usage of plurals quickly. Practicing for as little as 15-20 minutes a day will do your child a world of good.
Learning can be fun only if it is taught in an engaging manner. Inject as much enthusiasm as you can into your games, and your little one will soon be excited and interested in learning all about plurals. And in no time, he will become quite skilled at using them in his daily speech. Not only will this help him improve his social skills, it will also be of great help to him when he joins school.

Name Change after Marriage in India - All You Need to Know
Name change after marriage is a common thing in Indian culture. When you exchange wedding vows, you make a commitment to be lifelong partners with your soulmate. And a name change is a big thing.

If you don't want to change your first name or surname after marriage, you don't have to. And there's no law that says that you have to adopt your husband's surname after the wedding. However, there are a couple of perks that come with wife name change after marriage, irrespective of whether you go for it or not.
How is Changing Name Post Marriage Beneficial for You?
Well, there are a couple of very good reasons why you would want to change your surname. Here is a list of the benefits:
1. Paperwork Becomes Hassle-free

2. You Don't Have To Reveal Your First Name
Sharing a common surname also means you won't have to reveal your first name to others. This is especially useful during social events where you meet new people and just don't want to disclose your first name for personal reasons.
3. Admitting Your Kids To School Becomes Easy
If you're admitting your kids to school, it really becomes a breeze. There are social stigma kids sometimes have to go through when their parents have different names. When you share the same surname, your kids won't have to answer personal questions or face any discomfort. Parent-teacher meetings also won't be that awkward as teachers know that you are their official guardian.
4. You Get A Marriage Certificate
Normally you don't get a marriage certificate when you choose to keep your original name after getting married in India. But if you apply for a name change, you do get a marriage certificate. This helps a lot in the future, especially if you ever decide to settle abroad after getting married or apply for jobs in different countries together at the same time.
Procedure To Change Your Name After Marriage in India
If you want to change your name after marriage in India, then you have to go through a couple of procedures. Here is what goes into the name change process after marriage:
Step 1 - Your Marriage Certificate
You'll have to first get your new name registered on your marriage certificate. For that, you have to visit the Indian government's official website and download the marriage registration forms. Fill these up and submit them at the Sub Registrar Office. You will also have to hand over a few copies of passport-size photographs, Aadhar Card, PAN card, and other ID/address proof documents. Your name change in the Marriage Certificate will fall under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 and more details about it are provided on the Central Government's website.
Step 2 - Get an Affidavit
An affidavit is a common document (a stamp paper) used for changing one's name in India. In that, you have to specify the reason for your name change, provide your new name, and also your old name. You can collect one by visiting a registered notary and request an affidavit for name change post-marriage.
Step 3 - Declaration to Third Parties
After you've successfully changed your name using your marriage certificate and have gotten through the affidavit process, it's time to publish your name officially. One way to do this is to put out your name on two famous local newspapers stating that you've changed your name. Additionally, the legal procedure you have to do for your name change declaration is to publish your name in the Gazette of India which is an official journal published by the Government of India.
Step 4 - Make The Changes
Now, this is the most important part. After you've successfully channged your name and published it in the Gazette of India, you have to change your name in other documentations like your bank accounts, PAN Card, Passport, Aadhar Card, High School Certificates etc. Take any relevant documents which contain your name change info and submit it to those places where you got your PAN, passport, Aadhar, etc to update your name and make it officially reflect on your records.
Entities that Must Be Notified of Your Name Change
Before you change your name legally post-marriage, you must notify a couple of entities about it. Here is a list of the following:
1. Inform Your Employers
If you work for startups or any organizations, you should notify them of your name change with a copy of your marriage license or any other name-change records. The earlier you do this the better.
2. Banks and Financial Institutions
If you have any bank accounts, you should inform them of your name change. This is because you don't want your changed name to interfere with financial transactions or cause hassle when applying for loans
3. Post Office
For updating your address as well as your new name. This helps with couriers and package deliveries
4. Telephone and Utility Organizations
If you use a landline and pay for utilities like water and electricity, you want your bills to reflect your new name
5. Tax Department of India
For your filing of income taxes and availing exclusive tax benefits for married couples when it comes to purchasing joint properties, renting/leasing, etc.
6. Department of Records
This is the department from where you get your birth certificate issued from
7. Social Security Administration
This is not optional. Your social security number is required everywhere you go, so don't forget to update your name here.
8. Passport Office
Passport name change after marriage India is pretty obvious. Because if you don't do it, you'll have a hard time travelling abroad or even applying for a VISA together with your husband
9. Public Assistance (Welfare) Office
This one is an entity you have to inform for sure. It's compulsory
10. Veterans Administration
Another legal entity which must be informed for any name changes post-marriage
11. Insurance Companies

15. Creditors and Debtors
If you've given loans to any people or taken any loans from some, be it peer-to-peer or through financial intermediaries, you have to update your name in the legal contracts you've signed for those.
When Should You Choose to Stick to Your Maiden Name?
You should stick to your maiden name if you have any of the following issues:
1. You have a Huge Social Media Presence
If you're an author, artist, or freelance influencer online and have a huge following, then changing your surname may not be a good move. This is because you'll have a ton of content published in the past under your original name.
2. You Have Many Legal Holdings
If you run a business or have any legal holdings with other entities, you should stick to your maiden name. This will make deals with other parties easier and you don't have to involve your husband in your work or business either.
3. Your Husband's Surname is Weird
Sometimes your husband's surname may be whacky or too silly. We mean no offence to the husbands out there, but yes, if you feel your husband's surname is too weird for your tastes, you could just stick to your maiden name. This doesn't mean you don't love your husband, it just means you don't like his surname based on your preferences and that's it.
Changing your name can be one of the most rewarding experiences after marriage. From being recognized in society officially as a married couple to enjoying legal and tax perks, you get a lot of benefits. Besides that, even if you don't change your name, you'll still enjoy some of them after marriage, except for the part where people ask you about why you haven't changed your name or to verify your marriage identity. You have both pros and cons, but the answer to whether you want to change your name or not is - you. And really, that's it. It's that simple.

Apply For Maternity Leave Like a Pro
A request for maternity leave isn't the same as applying for annual or privilege leaves. It entails a longer period of absence from work. How you apply for it makes all the difference, as you would also want to get all the benefits due to you during this phase.
Stepping out of your job for three months can be stressful for you and your colleagues no matter how happy the impending occasion is. You want to make sure that everyone around you at work is prepared for your absence. Moreover, you need to know when to take maternity leave so that it doesn’t cause anyone inconvenience. So, if you find out you’re pregnant here are some guidelines to help you apply for maternity leave like a pro.
The Professional Way of Applying for Maternity Leave
1. Follow the hierarchy
You may be brimming with excitement and can’t wait to tell your colleagues. But you should hold on to your feelings and tell your boss first. You don’t want the news getting to your boss before you can tell him or her. So act like a professional and be the first to tell him.
2. Don’t be clueless
Writing a maternity leave application letter is an important aspect of a well-arranged pregnancy. Before you pen down your application, you should be aware of the full maternity benefits offered by your company and its maternity leave policy. If you're in doubt about anything, find out from your boss or the person who'll be sanctioning your leave.
3. Communicate correctly
When applying for maternity leave be sure to communicate your requirements correctly, so that there’s no confusion in the weeks surrounding your due date. Be specific about the start date and the desired length of your leave. Don’t forget to mention your due date and attach a copy of your doctor’s certificate in support of it. Include your planned return date too. If you feel you would need extended leave, mention it in your letter and specify the duration of the time required.
4. Give adequate notice
Be sure to check your company’s policy to find out the adequate notice period of handing in your leave application. Better still to hand over the maternity leave notice well in advance, so that you and your colleagues or superiors can plan ahead. Even make necessary arrangements to cover your period of absence.
5. Plan your absence
A long absence from work is always going to be inconvenient for you, your colleagues and your boss too. If your maternity leave is going to coincide with important work then you need to decide upon a few things. Can you rely on anyone else to step in for you? How much of it can you put on hold? Do you need a replacement? You need to be able to set things up in your absence to ensure work is not hampered and that you don’t return to a complete mess.
If you’re in an organization where there are people to fill your shoes in your absence, consider yourself lucky. If you can follow these guidelines in applying for maternity leave correctly it will help you enforce your rights in the event of a disagreement and ensure a smooth transition in the weeks preceding your due date.

Types of Childhood Illnesses
Much as we dislike it, illnesses are a part of growing up. It is a heart-wrenching experience to see any child suffering through illnesses. Arm yourself with information on dozens of childhood illnesses like chicken pox, asthma, fever, etc.
Children are prone to various infections. Most illnesses are caused by bacteria or viruses, and can be prevented by maintaining basic hygiene standards. Get to learn about the various types of illnesses that can bug a kid.
1. Chicken Pox
Symptoms of this highly infectious disease include red, itchy spots all over the body accompanied by mild fever as in flu. The spots turn into blisters with scabs, which eventually fall off. Getting this disease once often provides immunity for life. The earlier a child gets it, the milder the intensity. Applying calamine lotion can provide some relief, accompanied with paracetamol to bring down a fever.
2. Asthma
A large number of children suffer from asthma. It is a disease that causes the bronchi to clog up, leading to incessant coughing, difficulty in breathing and wheezing. It is aggravated by environmental allergens. It is difficult to prevent the disease, but an attack can be prevented by careful supervision and medication. Most children outgrow it over the course of time.
3. Common Cold and Flu
It is almost impossible to prevent cold and flu since it is caused by over 200 different viruses. It causes a runny nose, headache, sneezing, sore throat, fatigue and fever. Though it isn’t dangerous, it does cause the kids a huge amount of discomfort. It goes away within a week or ten days. All you can do is give your child the relief medication.
4. Whooping Cough
This is caused due to a bacterial infection and is characterized by fever, cough, and nasal discharge. The cough is often followed by wheezing and vomiting and can last up to three months. It is infectious, and children should be isolated till they complete the antibiotic dose.
5. Gastroenteritis
This is caused due to a digestive system infection. Symptoms include diarrhoea, vomiting, stomach pain or nausea. It often causes immense dehydration, so it is important to ensure that your child drinks plenty of fluids.
6. Fifth Disease
This is one of the milder viral diseases. Tiny red flecks appear on the child’s cheek and later on spread to affect his arms, thighs, and buttocks. The red rash-like specks make it look like a child has been slapped, and hence it is also called the ‘slapped cheek’ syndrome. It is infectious, but it goes away on its own.
7. Hand Foot Mouth Disease
Just as the name suggests, the child develops blisters in the mouth and on his hands and feet. This is also an infectious, viral disease and might be accompanied with mild fever. The child will find it difficult to eat, so you will need to give him mashed foods and easy to swallow semi-solid food.
8. Scarlet Fever
It is characterised by mild fever, a sore throat and rough rash that begins from the armpits and the groin and spreads to the neck and torso. The child gets a rough pink tongue called ‘strawberry tongue’ due to skin peeling. It is passed on to the child due to infection from coughs and sneezes of another infected person.
Make sure your child is vaccinated against diseases like Chicken Pox and Whooping Cough. Practicing basic hygiene rules like washing hands frequently, especially before a meal, and covering the mouth while coughing can go a long way in keeping your child healthy and disease-free. Read more
