Step 2: Enter Mother’s Height

• Enter the mother’s height in centimeters. Ensure that the value is between 130 cm and 220 cm as per the specified validation requirement.

Step 3: Enter Mother’s Pre-pregnancy Weight

Step 6: Calculate and Interpret Results

Once all fields have been accurately filled:

• It will also show the Weight Percentile, indicating the baby’s weight relative to a standard population, expressed as a percentile.
• Finally, the result will specify the Weight Category as either ‘Low Birth Weight’, ‘Normal Weight’, or ‘High Birth Weight’ based on the estimated weight.

Double-check the entered data to ensure accuracy, as this will directly impact the reliability of the estimated results.
