How to work out what it means when they say a figure and then centile? And how do you match this up with how far gone you are?

Your charts will be in the back of your pregnancy so you can check those and see where the little crosses are to show where you were measuring at 12w, 20w and 36w (if your area/hospital has those)

This empty one shows you 50th line in the middle (see key bottom right) and that’s the average “normal” line and then the darker one either side is 90th (larger side) or 10th (smaller side)

Weeks are at the bottom, height on the left axis, weight on the right ☺️ hope this helps in some way! Xx

I was told a centile (meaning 100) is if they were to line up 100 babies from smallest to largest, the number is where your baby would be in the line. At my 32 week scan he was 75th centile so would be over average (50) but below the largest (100)
