What is birth weight?

Birth weight is the first weight of your baby, taken just after being born. A low birth weight means that the baby is less than 5 pounds, 8 ounces. A high birth weight means that the baby is more than 8 pounds, 13 ounces.

What can cause low birth weight?

A baby with a low birth weight can be born too small, too early (premature), or both. This can happen for many different reasons. They include:

Health problems in the pregnant parent
Taking certain medicines during pregnancy
Substance use during pregnancy
Infections during pregnancy
Being pregnant with multiple babies
Problems with the placenta, the organ that brings oxygen and nutrients to the baby
Having small parents
Genetic conditions in the baby
Birth defects

What problems can low birth weight cause?

Babies with low birth weight may be more at risk of certain health problems. They include immediate problems, such as:

Breathing problems
Infections
Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
Jaundice
Trouble keeping warm

There is also a higher risk of longer-term problems, including:

Delayed motor and social development
Learning disabilities
Certain health conditions as an adult, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity

What can cause high birth weight?

Causes of high birth weight can include:

Having big parents
Diabetes in the pregnant parent
Certain genetic conditions
Too much weight gain during pregnancy

What problems can high birth weight cause?

High birth weight can be a concern because it can make delivery of the baby difficult and raise the risk of birth injuries. The baby is at higher risk of problems with:

Blood sugar
Breathing problems
Jaundice

Can birth weight problems be prevented?

You may be able to prevent some birth weight problems by:

Getting regular checkups during pregnancy
Getting the right amount of nutrition and calories during pregnancy
Controlling your blood sugar if you have diabetes
Avoiding substance use during pregnancy
