Can someone explain to me what percentiles mean? Like if my daughter is in the 60th percentile for something for her age. I asked my pediatrician but I'm still confused lol
ahhhh OK that makes a lot of sense! she said haizyl is in the 60th percentile for her weight which I'm guessing means only 40% of babies weigh less than her for her age.
Soo I'm not sure but I believe it's basically a comparison to other babies. So like say 50% of babies are born weighing 7lbs, and then your baby is 7lbs he/she would be in the 50th percentile. At least that's what I think! Lol

weighing in at 4lbs4ozs, 88th percentile. my chunky man
My doctor said he would induce my labor at 38 weeks, if my baby girl still had growth issues and if the percentile dropped to 10 or less. Last thursday, it was 10 percentile, and he said if she didn't come on her own by 38 weeks, he would induce labor at that time. I'm 36 weeks 1 day today, he said my cervix was super thin, and 1cm dilated. Is there a possibility this can change... that my doctor will let her just come on her own? I don't want to be induced, i would much rather her come on her ...
is it bad if a baby is in the 1 percentile of growth...? not sure what this means or how it works my daughter was in the high 80s for head and length but some girl told me her baby was in the 1 percentile
So I'm 36 weeks and my baby girl is already at 90 percentile ....is that a good thing ?
